Teams

Welcome to our statistical round up of the week 11 Serie A action. Inter are the standard bearers and record breakers this week, as they set a new benchmark in Calcio. David Trezeguet of Juventus is also flying as he nears Omar Sivori's striking record.

Juventus 2-3 Napoli

Juventus were stunned at home to Napoli in week 11's anticipo. The loss was their second in 19 games at the Olimpico. David Trezeguet opened the scoring, bagging his 121st goal in Serie A. He is now on a total of 166, just one shy of equalling Omar Sivori in fourth place on the all time Bianconeri scorers list. It was the first time in 21 years that Napoli have beaten the Old Lady in Turin. The last time they picked up three points there was in 1988 when the game finished 5-3 to the visitors. Jesus Datolo scored one of the Partenopei's five. It was his first goal in the league.

Milan 2-0 Parma

The Rossoneri's new found form seems to be slowly but surely getting sweeter. The win against Parma means they are now unbeaten in six games. Marco Borriello started the game and scored a double. It was the first time he hit the back of the net since September 24 2008, when he struck against Reggina. Parma are beginning to slide. It was their second consecutive away loss. The Ducali have not beaten Milan at the San Siro in over 10 years when they won 2-1.

Cagliari 3-0 Atalanta

Massimiliano Allegri's side continued to climb up the table, following their third consecutive win. It was lucky number three for the Sardinians this weekend, as they celebrated their 300th win in Serie A. The honeymoon period seems to be over for Antonio Conte. His Nerazzurri lost their second game away from home in a row. And they have not scored in over 186 minutes of Calcio.

Chievo Verona 1-1 Udinese

Domenico Di Carlo's men are not having the best of term's at the Bentegodi stadium. They have only won once here in the last ten games. Mario Yepes scored his first goal in Serie A, while it was the first time Di Carlo has drawn with his opposite number Pasquale Marino. The Friulani's dominance in Verona came to an end. They had previously one all three of their last visits here. Marino's men have now not won away from home since May.

Fiorentina 3-1 Catania

The Viola returned to winning ways at the Artemio Franchi for the first time in over a month. The last time they won here in Serie A was back in September when they beat Sampdoria 2-0. Marco Marchionni's opener was the first goal his side had scored in 236 minutes of football. For the Elefanti, it was their third loss on the trot. The Rossoazzurri have never beaten Fiorentina in Tuscany.

Livorno 0-2 Inter

There was always going to be only one winner in this tie. Livorno have not won against Inter in 62 years. To make matters worse, Serse Cosmi's side have lost three of their last four matches at the Armando Picchi. The Nerazzurri are climbing the rope to the summit of Serie A hand over fist. They have scored a massive seven goals in their last two away matches. Diego Milito's second half strike takes him up to seven goals so far. The win saw Jose Mourinho's men stretch their lead over second place Juventus to seven points, after just 11 games. That is a new record, it has never been achieved in 11 matches during the three points for a win era.

Roma 2-1 Bologna

The Giallorossi got back to winning ways against Bologna, but there were some uncomfortable scenes for the players at the Olimpico as fans booed the players and laid a reef of flowers to signify the death of the club. Ironically, it seemed to spark Roma into life. The Lupi hadn't won since October 4, when they beat Napoli 2-1 at home. Mirko Vucinic scored for the first time this season. He hadn't hit the net since May 31. Bologna are now floating in and around the relegation zone, following their third defeat on the road. The Emiliani have not won away since January.

Sampdoria 0-0 Bari

Antonio Cassano caused a major stir when he claimed he would quit the club following a hornets storm of protests from the tifosi at the final whistle. The fans booed 'Il Talentino' despite the fact that they are second in the league. Samp have not lost at the Luigi Ferraris in 15 matches. This was the first 0-0 draw here in 14 games. Bari havn't won here since 1994. It was the first no score draw between the teams at Marassi in over a decade.

Siena 1-1 Lazio

New Siena coach Marco Baroni had just three days to prepare for this game, after replacing Marco Giampaolo. However, he was unable to deliver a win. The Robur have not won at the Franchi since May 3 last season. The Bianconeri are the only team in the league yet to record a win. Lazio have fared no better. They have not triumphed since August 30. The Biancocelesti have only won once in their last eight visits here.

Palermo 0-0 Genoa

Both teams tried, but neither could score in Sicily. There wasn't much to write home about either. It was Genoa's second draw of the season, after they shared the points with Juventus at Marassi in September. The last time this clash ended 0-0 was back in December 2002. Since then Palermo have won twice at the Barbera, while Genoa's last win here was in 2008, when they won a memorable game 3-2.
