Roma 1-3 Lazio
Daniele De Rossi 45’(pen) Balde Daio Keita 12’ 85’
Dusan Basta 50’
It was deserving victory for Lazio in the Derby della Capitale.
Two victories a piece got both Roman teams in the four Derby della Capitale played within the 2016/17 Serie A season.
Roma could get the points to take advantage of Juventus slip against Atalanta
A questionable penalty call allowed Roma to finish the first half on even terms, but Lazio scored all the goals in the second half to reinstall their lead and beat their local rival.
The best part about this victory for Lazio was the fact that they have helped to end Roma’s hopes of a Scudetto.
Genoa 1-2 Chievo Verona
Goran Pandev 43’ Samuel Bastien 60’
Valter Birsa 80’
A result that helps Genoa in their bid to avoid the drop zone.
Giovanni Simeone’s missed penalty in the first-half became very costly when Chievo Verona scored two goals in the second-half to put an end to five straight league defeats.
Palermo 2-0 Fiorentina
Alessandro Diamanti 32’
Haitam Aleesami 90’
Relegation-zoned Palermo handed Fiorentina a shocking defeat. To be fair, getting a result in this fixture meant more to Palermo than it did to Fiorentina.
Crotone 1-1 AC Milan
Marcello Trotta 8’ Gabriel Paletta 50’
Crotone damaged AC Milan hopes of competing in Europe in the 2017/18 season. AC Milan needed more than a point to keep those hopes alive and Crotone needs maximum points if they are to climb out of the relegation-zone.
Cagliari 1-0 Pescara
Joao Pedro 23’(pen)
A first-half penalty was enough for Cagliari to deliver Pescara a defeat that relegates Pescara.
Empoli 1-3 Sassuolo
Manuel Pucciarelli 24’(pen) Federico Peluso 19’
Alessandro Matri 34’
Alfred Duncan 57’
Sassuolo once again placed three goals in Empoli’s net to grab the maximum points. Empoli remains under the threat of relegation.
Bologna 4-0 Udinese
Mattia Destro 2’ 59’
Saphir Taider 45’+1’
Danilo 68’ (o.g)
A great start to the match for Bologna leads to a great finish. Bologna cut the gap between themselves and Udinese down to 5-points.
Inter Milan 0-1 Napoli
Jose Maria Callejon 43’
Napoli took advantage of Roma’s defeat against Lazio by getting the three points that bring them a point away from 2nd-place Roma.
