&lt;p&gt;The fierce competition reigns supreme in Serie A, with Conte`s Napoli leading a group of teams: Atalanta, Fiorentina, Lazio and Inter continue to chase the top spot at an impressive pace and with no signs of relenting. The Bergamaschi and the Viola, in particular, are currently the two teams in&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;the best form in Europe&lt;/strong&gt;: since the beginning of October, in fact, they are the only two clubs across the top five European leagues to have won all their matches (seven out of seven). Meanwhile, Lazio overcame the difficult hurdle of Bologna unscathed to make it seven wins in a row in all competitions. Napoli remain in sole command, successfully closing a fantastic month with four consecutive big matches and looking strong in the title fight. It was also an important matchday for the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;coaches&lt;/strong&gt;, three of whom took charge of their first match:&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Giampaolo&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;debuted with a crucial victory for Lecce,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Vieira&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;obtained a precious point with Genoa, while the return of Ranieri did not prevent Roma from leaving the Maradona with a defeat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;98f08f7d-51a6-4b11-b8e3-ad370ba27958&#34; data-image-id=&#34;98f08f7d-51a6-4b11-b8e3-ad370ba27958&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b03d771a-cca0-499d-b0b5-f69845c1ca6d/Sito_HERO_int_.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;98f08f7d-51a6-4b11-b8e3-ad370ba27958&#34; data-image-id=&#34;98f08f7d-51a6-4b11-b8e3-ad370ba27958&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;thrashed&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Hellas Verona&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;in the weekend opener. In just 31 minutes, the Nerazzurri scored four goals, a rarity that had only occurred once in the club`s history in a Serie A away match.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Correa&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;broke a 756-day league dry spell with a goal that was also his third away at the Bentegodi, a profitable pitch for the Argentine. Marcus&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Thuram&lt;/strong&gt;`s double, his third of the season, takes the Frenchman`s tally to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;four games with more than one goal&lt;/strong&gt;; only Lewandowski has done better in this regard across Europe`s top five leagues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Bisseck&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;De Vrij&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;closed the scoring before half-time. Inter, who have had 13 different goalscorers this season (the same as Lazio, a record across Europe in 2024/25), confirmed their status as a complete and unpredictable team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;1a7bf9c8-06e3-4de8-ac3c-fbeb9679e3c9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;1a7bf9c8-06e3-4de8-ac3c-fbeb9679e3c9&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/8d935930-3133-409d-b089-4c09fd0339ff/Sito_HERO_mil_juv.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;1a7bf9c8-06e3-4de8-ac3c-fbeb9679e3c9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;1a7bf9c8-06e3-4de8-ac3c-fbeb9679e3c9&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Meazza,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;did not do each other any harm, with a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;0-0&lt;/strong&gt; draw slowing down the chase for both.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Defences prevailed over&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;attacks: the Rossoneri attempted only six shots, a record low for them this season, while the Bianconeri kept a clean sheet for the fifth time in six away matches. &lt;strong&gt;Thiago Motta&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;reached an important milestone, becoming the fifth coach in Juventus` history to go unbeaten in his first 13 league matches. AC Milan, on the other hand, failed to win for the second consecutive home game, also running out of goals at San Siro for the second time in a row.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;9b5f00cc-92ce-4509-9c09-e6feb0d7f3c2&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9b5f00cc-92ce-4509-9c09-e6feb0d7f3c2&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/26a8167e-7ba6-4a17-ad24-3fc85c6f4062/Sito_HERO_ata_.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;9b5f00cc-92ce-4509-9c09-e6feb0d7f3c2&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9b5f00cc-92ce-4509-9c09-e6feb0d7f3c2&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;continued to break records with another victory, their seventh in a row, against a combative but vulnerable Parma.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Retegui&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;scored his twelfth goal of the season, confirming his place as one of the best strikers in Europe behind only Lewandowski and Kane, and secured a 3-1 victory along with&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Ederson&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Lookman&lt;/strong&gt;. Cancellieri’s wonder goal was to no avail for the Ducali. Gasperini`s team are the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;most successful Atalanta side ever&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;after 13 matches, with 28 points collected and the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;best attack&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the tournament (34 goals). La Dea are also performing well defensively, with only four goals conceded in the last six league outings. To make the performance at the Tardini even more positive, there was the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;return of Scalvini&lt;/strong&gt;, who celebrated his 100th appearance in a Nerazzurri shirt. Parma, on the other hand, suffered their second consecutive home defeat and remain in the battle to avoid relegation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;c2fa8ace-899e-46ef-99e7-def539edd256&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c2fa8ace-899e-46ef-99e7-def539edd256&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e8a8dc22-3111-4f9b-b4f6-8a14742dcb49/Sito_HERO_cag.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;c2fa8ace-899e-46ef-99e7-def539edd256&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c2fa8ace-899e-46ef-99e7-def539edd256&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Marassi, &lt;strong&gt;Vieira’s &lt;/strong&gt;Genoa showed positive signs in attack but had to settle for a 2-2 draw against a Cagliari side with a never-say-die attitude. The Ligurians had 20 efforts at goal and showed real aggressiveness but also wasted too many chances. &lt;strong&gt;Frendrup&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Miretti &lt;/strong&gt;found the net for the home side, while the Sardinians responded with penalties from &lt;strong&gt;Marin&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Piccoli&lt;/strong&gt;, the latter of whom converted late on. Piccoli, with 16 Serie A goals to his name, thus consolidated his status as the most prolific Italian player born after 2001. Nicola’s Cagliari continue to have problems in &lt;strong&gt;defence&lt;/strong&gt;: they’ve conceded at least two goals in each of their last six league outings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;26059f20-54c4-41f6-afd5-48cf7d1d4c10&#34; data-image-id=&#34;26059f20-54c4-41f6-afd5-48cf7d1d4c10&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/09697e49-c892-4f5d-8a67-10192b2c00ca/Sito_HERO_fio_gal.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;26059f20-54c4-41f6-afd5-48cf7d1d4c10&#34; data-image-id=&#34;26059f20-54c4-41f6-afd5-48cf7d1d4c10&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina&lt;/strong&gt; just can’t be stopped at the moment, with the Viola recording a comfortable 2-0 win against Como at the Sinigaglia. &lt;strong&gt;Adli&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Kean &lt;/strong&gt;both got on the scoresheet, while De Gea also excelled with three decisive saves. Fiorentina, who are unbeaten since the start of October, have now won seven matches in row in the Italian top flight and, for the first time in their history, have recorded four consecutive away matches without conceding. &lt;strong&gt;Moise Kean&lt;/strong&gt;, who has bagged in four successive fixtures,&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;is shining for a side that looks sharp both in attack and defensively. As for &lt;strong&gt;Como&lt;/strong&gt;, they once again failed to keep a clean sheet – they’re the only side not to have done so this campaign – and sit third from bottom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;aa137214-19c4-480e-ad28-be0b49fe7806&#34; data-image-id=&#34;aa137214-19c4-480e-ad28-be0b49fe7806&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/842b441f-25fc-4ee5-ae7f-7a2b82a001fe/Sito_HERO_tor.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;aa137214-19c4-480e-ad28-be0b49fe7806&#34; data-image-id=&#34;aa137214-19c4-480e-ad28-be0b49fe7806&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the Grande Torino, Monza and Torino played out a 1-1 draw following two headers. Masina opened the scoring for the Granata, but &lt;strong&gt;Djurić &lt;/strong&gt;levelled matters to put an end to the Brianzoli’s losing run. Both teams have conceded six times from headers so far this campaign, suggesting they’re struggling to deal with &lt;strong&gt;aerial balls&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Lazaro&lt;/strong&gt; continues to shine: he provided his fourth assist of the season, which is the third-highest tally out of all the defenders in Europe (behind Nuno Tavares with eight and Óscar Mingueza with five). Meanwhile, Masina now has three goal contributions this league season. Vanoli’s Torino ended their losing run but continue to struggle in attack without the injured Zapata.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;9faffb49-a79e-4f61-bb59-7d3a045ed07a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9faffb49-a79e-4f61-bb59-7d3a045ed07a&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ba9ed051-6b9f-41b0-8b91-71b246510d1b/Sito_HERO_nap.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;9faffb49-a79e-4f61-bb59-7d3a045ed07a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9faffb49-a79e-4f61-bb59-7d3a045ed07a&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Napoli&lt;/strong&gt; remain at the top of the table following a narrow win over Roma, with &lt;strong&gt;Lukaku&lt;/strong&gt; bagging the winner in the 54th minute. The Belgian, who has five wins to his name this league season, finished off a cross from &lt;strong&gt;Di Lorenzo&lt;/strong&gt;. The Italian continues to play a key role in the Partenopei’s attacking play and is the defender with the second most goal contributions this Serie A season (four), behind Taveres. The Giallorossi tried to responded after Lukaku’s opener, with an effort from Dovbyk crashing against the bar. Napoli have won six of their opening seven home matches and, under Antonio &lt;strong&gt;Conte&lt;/strong&gt;, are looking very solid. Despite a change in the dugout, &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt; continue to struggle: they’ve won just three of their opening 13 matches, their &lt;strong&gt;worst start&lt;/strong&gt; to a season since 1978/79.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;c01e1dce-e99c-4b50-9e83-6ef7be48f7e9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c01e1dce-e99c-4b50-9e83-6ef7be48f7e9&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ffbd4cb9-45d7-4167-8c54-7c646a2c2e9c/Sito_HERO_LAZ.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;c01e1dce-e99c-4b50-9e83-6ef7be48f7e9&#34; data-image-id=&#34;c01e1dce-e99c-4b50-9e83-6ef7be48f7e9&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt; swept Bologna aside to record their fifth consecutive league win and seventh successive victory in all competitions. &lt;strong&gt;Gigot &lt;/strong&gt;opened the scoring with a header – his first goal in Serie A – before &lt;strong&gt;Zaccagni &lt;/strong&gt;doubled the Biancocelesti’s advantage with a fine finish into the corner (his third goal in his last three matches) and &lt;strong&gt;Dele-Bashiru &lt;/strong&gt;added a late third.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Having scored 19 goals at the OIimpico, Lazio have the &lt;strong&gt;best home attack&lt;/strong&gt; across the division and are on course to compete for major objectives. As for &lt;strong&gt;Bologna&lt;/strong&gt;, they suffered their first defeat since 25 August. The Rossoblù, whose task was made harder following Pobega’s sending-off, lost for the first time in twelve games. Lazio, who, like Inter, have had 13 different goalscorers, are proving that they have a strong squad and, with this victory, sent a message to their rivals in the upper echelons of the table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;0dc1c167-e22f-4891-88fb-9dbf708f5240&#34; data-image-id=&#34;0dc1c167-e22f-4891-88fb-9dbf708f5240&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/452f0390-3564-4c2e-a57f-07478cee0b61/EU09.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;0dc1c167-e22f-4891-88fb-9dbf708f5240&#34; data-image-id=&#34;0dc1c167-e22f-4891-88fb-9dbf708f5240&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a balanced affair at the Castellani Gross Computer Arena, &lt;strong&gt;Empoli&lt;/strong&gt; picked up a precious point against Udinese. &lt;strong&gt;Pellegri &lt;/strong&gt;bagged for a third consecutive match, surpassing his previous record for goals scored in a single Serie A season, but &lt;strong&gt;Davis &lt;/strong&gt;equalised from a Lovrić assist. After failing to score in their opening five games at the Castellani Gross Computer Arena, the Azzurri have now found the net in two consecutive home &lt;strong&gt;matches&lt;/strong&gt;, an important sign for them. The Friulani put an end to a five-game losing run on the road, but they’ve now conceded at least one goal in each of their last seven away outings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;099f4dfa-d67d-4949-a5d4-2db76430c0fd&#34; data-image-id=&#34;099f4dfa-d67d-4949-a5d4-2db76430c0fd&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/fa0675ce-0c7b-41d8-b566-2f676f486b27/VELE012.jpg&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;099f4dfa-d67d-4949-a5d4-2db76430c0fd&#34; data-image-id=&#34;099f4dfa-d67d-4949-a5d4-2db76430c0fd&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lecce&lt;/strong&gt; emerged victorious at the Penzo thanks to a goal from &lt;strong&gt;Patrick Dorgu &lt;/strong&gt;in the 70th minute. The young Danish defender, who bagged for the third time this season, continues to grow in impressive fashion and is certainly one to watch in Serie A. Dorgu got on the end of a cross from &lt;strong&gt;Gallo &lt;/strong&gt;and converted from inside the box to secure the Salentini’s first away win this Serie A season. Despite dominating for large spells, &lt;strong&gt;Venezia &lt;/strong&gt;failed to score from&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;a total of&lt;strong&gt; 16 shots&lt;/strong&gt;, a record for them&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;this season.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;They continue to struggle to score, a problem they need to resolve if they want to move off the bottom.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;As for Lecce, it was a &lt;strong&gt;good start under Marco Giampaolo.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Review all the goals from Matchday 13, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/thuram-back-con-the-scoresheet-141hibc4kio1d3&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;click here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

The fierce competition reigns supreme in Serie A, with Conte`s Napoli leading a group of teams: Atalanta, Fiorentina, Lazio and Inter continue to chase the top spot at an impressive pace and with no signs of relenting. The Bergamaschi and the Viola, in particular, are currently the two teams in&nbsp;the best form in Europe: since the beginning of October, in fact, they are the only two clubs across the top five European leagues to have won all their matches (seven out of seven). Meanwhile, Lazio overcame the difficult hurdle of Bologna unscathed to make it seven wins in a row in all competitions. Napoli remain in sole command, successfully closing a fantastic month with four consecutive big matches and looking strong in the title fight. It was also an important matchday for the&nbsp;coaches, three of whom took charge of their first match:&nbsp;Giampaolo&nbsp;debuted with a crucial victory for Lecce,&nbsp;Vieira&nbsp;obtained a precious point with Genoa, while the return of Ranieri did not prevent Roma from leaving the Maradona with a defeat.<figure data-asset-id="98f08f7d-51a6-4b11-b8e3-ad370ba27958" data-image-id="98f08f7d-51a6-4b11-b8e3-ad370ba27958"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/b03d771a-cca0-499d-b0b5-f69845c1ca6d/Sito_HERO_int_.png" data-asset-id="98f08f7d-51a6-4b11-b8e3-ad370ba27958" data-image-id="98f08f7d-51a6-4b11-b8e3-ad370ba27958" alt=""></figure>Inter&nbsp;thrashed&nbsp;Hellas Verona&nbsp;in the weekend opener.

Thiago Motta&nbsp;reached an important milestone, becoming the fifth coach in Juventus` history to go unbeaten in his first 13 league matches. AC Milan, on the other hand, failed to win for the second consecutive home game, also running out of goals at San Siro for the second time in a row.<figure data-asset-id="9b5f00cc-92ce-4509-9c09-e6feb0d7f3c2" data-image-id="9b5f00cc-92ce-4509-9c09-e6feb0d7f3c2"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/26a8167e-7ba6-4a17-ad24-3fc85c6f4062/Sito_HERO_ata_.png" data-asset-id="9b5f00cc-92ce-4509-9c09-e6feb0d7f3c2" data-image-id="9b5f00cc-92ce-4509-9c09-e6feb0d7f3c2" alt=""></figure>Atalanta&nbsp;continued to break records with another victory, their seventh in a row, against a combative but vulnerable Parma.&nbsp;Retegui&nbsp;scored his twelfth goal of the season, confirming his place as one of the best strikers in Europe behind only Lewandowski and Kane, and secured a 3-1 victory along with&nbsp;Ederson&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lookman. Cancellieri’s wonder goal was to no avail for the Ducali. Gasperini`s team are the&nbsp;most successful Atalanta side ever&nbsp;after 13 matches, with 28 points collected and the&nbsp;best attack&nbsp;in the tournament (34 goals). La Dea are also performing well defensively, with only four goals conceded in the last six league outings. To make the performance at the Tardini even more positive, there was the&nbsp;return of Scalvini, who celebrated his 100th appearance in a Nerazzurri shirt. Parma, on the other hand, suffered their second consecutive home defeat and remain in the battle to avoid relegation.<figure data-asset-id="c2fa8ace-899e-46ef-99e7-def539edd256" data-image-id="c2fa8ace-899e-46ef-99e7-def539edd256"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/e8a8dc22-3111-4f9b-b4f6-8a14742dcb49/Sito_HERO_cag.png" data-asset-id="c2fa8ace-899e-46ef-99e7-def539edd256" data-image-id="c2fa8ace-899e-46ef-99e7-def539edd256" alt=""></figure>At the Marassi, Vieira’s Genoa showed positive signs in attack but had to settle for a 2-2 draw against a Cagliari side with a never-say-die attitude. The Ligurians had 20 efforts at goal and showed real aggressiveness but also wasted too many chances. Frendrup and Miretti found the net for the home side, while the Sardinians responded with penalties from Marin and Piccoli, the latter of whom converted late on. Piccoli, with 16 Serie A goals to his name, thus consolidated his status as the most prolific Italian player born after 2001. Nicola’s Cagliari continue to have problems in defence: they’ve conceded at least two goals in each of their last six league outings.<figure data-asset-id="26059f20-54c4-41f6-afd5-48cf7d1d4c10" data-image-id="26059f20-54c4-41f6-afd5-48cf7d1d4c10"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/09697e49-c892-4f5d-8a67-10192b2c00ca/Sito_HERO_fio_gal.png" data-asset-id="26059f20-54c4-41f6-afd5-48cf7d1d4c10" data-image-id="26059f20-54c4-41f6-afd5-48cf7d1d4c10" alt=""></figure>Fiorentina just can’t be stopped at the moment, with the Viola recording a comfortable 2-0 win against Como at the Sinigaglia. Adli and Kean both got on the scoresheet, while De Gea also excelled with three decisive saves. Fiorentina, who are unbeaten since the start of October, have now won seven matches in row in the Italian top flight and, for the first time in their history, have recorded four consecutive away matches without conceding. Moise Kean, who has bagged in four successive fixtures, is shining for a side that looks sharp both in attack and defensively. As for Como, they once again failed to keep a clean sheet – they’re the only side not to have done so this campaign – and sit third from bottom.<figure data-asset-id="aa137214-19c4-480e-ad28-be0b49fe7806" data-image-id="aa137214-19c4-480e-ad28-be0b49fe7806"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/842b441f-25fc-4ee5-ae7f-7a2b82a001fe/Sito_HERO_tor.png" data-asset-id="aa137214-19c4-480e-ad28-be0b49fe7806" data-image-id="aa137214-19c4-480e-ad28-be0b49fe7806" alt=""></figure>At the Grande Torino, Monza and Torino played out a 1-1 draw following two headers. Masina opened the scoring for the Granata, but Djurić levelled matters to put an end to the Brianzoli’s losing run. Both teams have conceded six times from headers so far this campaign, suggesting they’re struggling to deal with aerial balls. Lazaro continues to shine: he provided his fourth assist of the season, which is the third-highest tally out of all the defenders in Europe (behind Nuno Tavares with eight and Óscar Mingueza with five). Meanwhile, Masina now has three goal contributions this league season. Vanoli’s Torino ended their losing run but continue to struggle in attack without the injured Zapata.<figure data-asset-id="9faffb49-a79e-4f61-bb59-7d3a045ed07a" data-image-id="9faffb49-a79e-4f61-bb59-7d3a045ed07a"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ba9ed051-6b9f-41b0-8b91-71b246510d1b/Sito_HERO_nap.png" data-asset-id="9faffb49-a79e-4f61-bb59-7d3a045ed07a" data-image-id="9faffb49-a79e-4f61-bb59-7d3a045ed07a" alt=""></figure>Napoli remain at the top of the table following a narrow win over Roma, with Lukaku bagging the winner in the 54th minute. The Belgian, who has five wins to his name this league season, finished off a cross from Di Lorenzo. The Italian continues to play a key role in the Partenopei’s attacking play and is the defender with the second most goal contributions this Serie A season (four), behind Taveres. The Giallorossi tried to responded after Lukaku’s opener, with an effort from Dovbyk crashing against the bar. Napoli have won six of their opening seven home matches and, under Antonio Conte, are looking very solid. Despite a change in the dugout, Roma continue to struggle: they’ve won just three of their opening 13 matches, their worst start to a season since 1978/79.<figure data-asset-id="c01e1dce-e99c-4b50-9e83-6ef7be48f7e9" data-image-id="c01e1dce-e99c-4b50-9e83-6ef7be48f7e9"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ffbd4cb9-45d7-4167-8c54-7c646a2c2e9c/Sito_HERO_LAZ.png" data-asset-id="c01e1dce-e99c-4b50-9e83-6ef7be48f7e9" data-image-id="c01e1dce-e99c-4b50-9e83-6ef7be48f7e9" alt=""></figure>Lazio swept Bologna aside to record their fifth consecutive league win and seventh successive victory in all competitions. Gigot opened the scoring with a header – his first goal in Serie A – before Zaccagni doubled the Biancocelesti’s advantage with a fine finish into the corner (his third goal in his last three matches) and Dele-Bashiru added a late third. Having scored 19 goals at the OIimpico, Lazio have the best home attack across the division and are on course to compete for major objectives. As for Bologna, they suffered their first defeat since 25 August. The Rossoblù, whose task was made harder following Pobega’s sending-off, lost for the first time in twelve games. Lazio, who, like Inter, have had 13 different goalscorers, are proving that they have a strong squad and, with this victory, sent a message to their rivals in the upper echelons of the table.<figure data-asset-id="0dc1c167-e22f-4891-88fb-9dbf708f5240" data-image-id="0dc1c167-e22f-4891-88fb-9dbf708f5240"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/452f0390-3564-4c2e-a57f-07478cee0b61/EU09.jpg" data-asset-id="0dc1c167-e22f-4891-88fb-9dbf708f5240" data-image-id="0dc1c167-e22f-4891-88fb-9dbf708f5240" alt=""></figure>In a balanced affair at the Castellani Gross Computer Arena, Empoli picked up a precious point against Udinese. Pellegri bagged for a third consecutive match, surpassing his previous record for goals scored in a single Serie A season, but Davis equalised from a Lovrić assist. After failing to score in their opening five games at the Castellani Gross Computer Arena, the Azzurri have now found the net in two consecutive home matches, an important sign for them. The Friulani put an end to a five-game losing run on the road, but they’ve now conceded at least one goal in each of their last seven away outings.&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="099f4dfa-d67d-4949-a5d4-2db76430c0fd" data-image-id="099f4dfa-d67d-4949-a5d4-2db76430c0fd"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/fa0675ce-0c7b-41d8-b566-2f676f486b27/VELE012.jpg" data-asset-id="099f4dfa-d67d-4949-a5d4-2db76430c0fd" data-image-id="099f4dfa-d67d-4949-a5d4-2db76430c0fd" alt=""></figure>Lecce emerged victorious at the Penzo thanks to a goal from Patrick Dorgu in the 70th minute. The young Danish defender, who bagged for the third time this season, continues to grow in impressive fashion and is certainly one to watch in Serie A. Dorgu got on the end of a cross from Gallo and converted from inside the box to secure the Salentini’s first away win this Serie A season. Despite dominating for large spells, Venezia failed to score from a total of 16 shots, a record for them this season. They continue to struggle to score, a problem they need to resolve if they want to move off the bottom. As for Lecce, it was a good start under Marco Giampaolo.Review all the goals from Matchday 13, <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/thuram-back-con-the-scoresheet-141hibc4kio1d3" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">click here</a>.&nbsp;(Photo LaPresse)
