    Serie A Round 11: Inter extend lead

    Cagliari 3-0 Atalanta
    Chievo 1-1 Udinese
    Fiorentina 3 -1 Catania
    Livorno 0 -2 Inter Milan
    Palermo 0-0 Genoa
    Roma 2-1 Bologna
    Sampdoria 0-0 Bari
    Siena 1 -1 Lazio
    AC Milan 2-0 Parma
    Juventus 2-3 Napoli

    This one isn't over already, is it? 11 games in and Inter already have a seven point lead after both Juventus and Sampdoria stumbled at the weekend. Jose Mourinho's men were far from brilliant away at Livorno but they didn't have to be; Milito and Maicon scored in the second half to beat the third-bottom hosts. Juventus lost arguably the match of the weekend; Surrendering a two-goal lead through Trezeguet and Sebastian Giovinco, as a Marek Hamsik double sandwiching a Datolo strike won the match for Walter Mazzari's men, who are recovering their best form as each week under the new coach goes by.

    Sampdoria were held at home, to the surprise of a fair few observers, by Bari, who have drawn 6 of their first 11 matches back in the top division. Also goalless was Palermo's match with Genoa - The Grifone dropping out of the top six as a result. AC Milan moved up to fourth thanks to two goals against Parma for Serie A's forgotten hitman, Marco Borriello. Yeah - remember him? One striker in form is Cagliari's Brazilian Nene, who grabbed a brace in their home victory over Atalanta, a jekyll-and-hyde team if ever there was one. Also scoring twice was Marco Marchionni, as Fiorentina brushed aside second-bottom Catania. Siena's new manager Marco Baroni watched his new charges draw at home to Lazio; Roma recovered from a goal down to defeat Bologna at home through strikes from Vucinic and Perotta, ending a run of three straight defeats; Chievo and Udinese shared the points at the Bentegodi with Mario Yepes's second half score cancelling out Antonio Floro Flores's opener.
