&lt;p&gt;Napoli and Inter’s draw and Atalanta dropping points means that it is all getting very close and unpredictable in the title race. Outcomes that seemed impossible weeks ago are now completely viable. The last time that the gap between first and fourth was so small was back in the 1986/87 season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus, in particular, have really turned it around and are now challenging for the title. With seven consecutive wins since the start of February, Motta’s side have been able to find their swing after a run of draws and they’re now only six points off the top. The battle for fourth place is more open than ever, with Lazio only two points behind the Bianoconeri after beating AC Milan at San Siro for only the second time in the three-points-per-win era in Serie A. Bologna kept up their form while Roma continued their amazing streak. After a difficult start with two defeats in his first two matches, Ranieiri’s Giallorossi were only two points off the relegation zone. Now, however, they have overtaken AC Milan in eighth place, only four points behind Bologna who are also looking to secure a European place next season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina &lt;/strong&gt;got back to winning ways after three consecutive defeats. &lt;strong&gt;Gosens’ &lt;/strong&gt;header added to Lecce’s misery, getting on the end of Dodô’s cross in a classic wing-back to wing-back play. The German full-back confirmed himself as the most &lt;strong&gt;prolific in Europe &lt;/strong&gt;in his position. Since his debut in Europe’s top five leagues, in 2017/18, he has scored 37 goals, at least four more than any other full-back. After the break, &lt;strong&gt;Beltrán&lt;/strong&gt; wasted two golden chances to double the lead, first in hitting the post from the spot, missing his first Serie A penalty on his fourth attempt, and he then hit the bar. The Viola still seem to struggle in one particular area: with &lt;strong&gt;seven missed penalties &lt;/strong&gt;in all competitions since the start of the season, they have the worst record of any team in Europe’s top five leagues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;a6ddcb92-403e-4259-a17f-5309a6f89016&#34; data-image-id=&#34;a6ddcb92-403e-4259-a17f-5309a6f89016&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/697b17c2-245b-4a99-9b8f-b60e3df956a8/Sito_HERO_fio.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;a6ddcb92-403e-4259-a17f-5309a6f89016&#34; data-image-id=&#34;a6ddcb92-403e-4259-a17f-5309a6f89016&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atalanta &lt;/strong&gt;couldn’t manage more than a 0-0 home draw against a solid and well-organised &lt;strong&gt;Venezia &lt;/strong&gt;side, who have now gone four games in a row without scoring however they secured their second &lt;strong&gt;consecutive clean sheet&lt;/strong&gt;. The Nerazzurri did pressure the Venezia goal, with Zappacosta hitting the woodwork and Lookman missing a tap-in. It is the 16th time that Atalanta have hit the woodwork this season, more than any other Serie A team. Gasperini has now drawn three home matches in a row for the first time as Atalanta boss, missing the chance to close in on the top spot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b5afb4ad-8304-4e40-bafa-f787b59d442f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b5afb4ad-8304-4e40-bafa-f787b59d442f&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ae3696f8-8466-4129-a345-c3cca27f22dc/Sito_HERO_ata.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b5afb4ad-8304-4e40-bafa-f787b59d442f&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b5afb4ad-8304-4e40-bafa-f787b59d442f&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;key match&lt;/strong&gt; between Napoli and Inter ended in a draw, with a goal in each half reflecting the similar level of the two sides. &lt;strong&gt;Dimarco &lt;/strong&gt;put Inter ahead with a stunning free-kick, putting an end to Inter’s long streak without scoring a direct free-kick since against Bologna back in November 2022. &lt;strong&gt;Napoli &lt;/strong&gt;reacted in the second half, piling on the pressure and it was, in fact, &lt;strong&gt;Billing &lt;/strong&gt;who found the back of the net, becoming Napoli’s second-ever Danish goalscorer after Harold Nielsen in 1968/69. &lt;strong&gt;Conte’s &lt;/strong&gt;side didn’t lose to their title rivals but they didn’t manage to win again: for the first time in his managerial career, Conte has gone five league games in a row without a win. Inter, on the other hand, added to their goal tally this season, which is the best of any team (60 goals, 31 away) but they couldn’t increase their lead at the top.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;db02fa83-23b9-4cee-9757-99b84a473389&#34; data-image-id=&#34;db02fa83-23b9-4cee-9757-99b84a473389&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/331074dd-f89a-4489-881e-15747b043cc2/Sito_HERO_napo.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;db02fa83-23b9-4cee-9757-99b84a473389&#34; data-image-id=&#34;db02fa83-23b9-4cee-9757-99b84a473389&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Udinese &lt;/strong&gt;continued their great run of form by securing their fourth win in five games, beating Parma thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Thauvin’s &lt;/strong&gt;penalty. The French attacker has now reached double figures in goal involvements in the league this season with seven goals and three assists. Lukaku is the only other player over the age of 30 to have achieved this feat. The Friulian side are now on 39 points and they secured a &lt;strong&gt;third consecutive clean sheet&lt;/strong&gt;, showing their return to defensive solidity. &lt;strong&gt;Parma &lt;/strong&gt;lost their first game under Chivu and they failed to score away against Udinese for the first time in eleven meetings. &lt;strong&gt;Padelli &lt;/strong&gt;was back in action for Udinese and he made his first Serie A appearance in three years.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;592eddd0-da00-46b6-a5fa-eeba3e89c1f1&#34; data-image-id=&#34;592eddd0-da00-46b6-a5fa-eeba3e89c1f1&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/6f7b84d7-f9ee-403d-916d-c1bd6297a67f/Sito_HERO_udi_.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;592eddd0-da00-46b6-a5fa-eeba3e89c1f1&#34; data-image-id=&#34;592eddd0-da00-46b6-a5fa-eeba3e89c1f1&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Torino &lt;/strong&gt;beat Monza with another strong performance, ensuring a second successive win thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Elmas &lt;/strong&gt;and Casadei’s goals. The ex-Napoli player scored his second goal in three appearances for Torino, becoming only the second foreign player (after Sanabria) to score two goals in his first two matches for their club in the three-points-per-win era. &lt;strong&gt;Casadei&lt;/strong&gt; also had an outstanding performance with six attempted shots and eight passes into the opposition’s box, capping off his game with his first Serie A goal this season. Il Toro have won two in a row for the first time since August and they have kept a clean sheet away from home for the first time since December. Furthermore, this win means that Torino have become the fourth team (after Lazio, Lecce and Roma), to avoid defeat against &lt;strong&gt;Monza&lt;/strong&gt; in each of their first six meetings in Italy’s top flight. &lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;3b3f3e16-1617-4cdf-a1a7-567b0e08824c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3b3f3e16-1617-4cdf-a1a7-567b0e08824c&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0c8026c9-7b32-4f6f-a511-f7cfe093a7ab/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;3b3f3e16-1617-4cdf-a1a7-567b0e08824c&#34; data-image-id=&#34;3b3f3e16-1617-4cdf-a1a7-567b0e08824c&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genoa &lt;/strong&gt;avoided two defeats in a row thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Vásquez’s &lt;/strong&gt;last-minute goal against &lt;strong&gt;Empoli.&lt;/strong&gt; The Azzurri, who broke a streak of four successive losses, got in front through &lt;strong&gt;Grassi’s &lt;/strong&gt;opener, scoring his first Serie A goal after five years. The &lt;strong&gt;Grifone &lt;/strong&gt;conceded their first goal at home since 21 December 2025, but a &lt;strong&gt;centre-back &lt;/strong&gt;scored for them for the seventh time this season (the best record of any team), showing that their defence is also effective in front of goal. Empoli, on the other hand, avoided five successive losses in the league but they remain in the relegation zone, having only won three points in 2025, bettering only Reims, Las Palmas and Ipswich’s record in Europe’s top five leagues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;8e89d8d7-e3e5-406b-a161-1eea17a631cf&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8e89d8d7-e3e5-406b-a161-1eea17a631cf&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/044085f1-f126-4bc9-83f2-971af21b4b96/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;8e89d8d7-e3e5-406b-a161-1eea17a631cf&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8e89d8d7-e3e5-406b-a161-1eea17a631cf&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bologna &lt;/strong&gt;came from behind against Cagliari thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Orsolini’s brace&lt;/strong&gt;, sealing the Rossoblù`s fifth consecutive home win. Bologna’s matchwinner continued his goal-scoring prowess in the league this season: with 59 goals since 2018/19, he is the most prolific of any Italian player in the league. Bologna are also the team to have won the most points from &lt;strong&gt;losing positions &lt;/strong&gt;this season (16). &lt;strong&gt;Piccoli&lt;/strong&gt;, who put &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari &lt;/strong&gt;in front, equalled his own record for away goals in a single season (four), while Bologna became the first side against which he has scored more than once in his top-flight career.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;b9c21745-1525-46e8-89d1-5ef4fd11e61e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b9c21745-1525-46e8-89d1-5ef4fd11e61e&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/eee3f1ba-edd3-45b3-8c48-e4ffe9e032ea/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;b9c21745-1525-46e8-89d1-5ef4fd11e61e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;b9c21745-1525-46e8-89d1-5ef4fd11e61e&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roma &lt;/strong&gt;continued climbing the table under Ranieri and they registered their fourth win in a row after coming back against Como. &lt;strong&gt;Da Cunha &lt;/strong&gt;opened the scoring but Saelemaekers and Dovbyk got Roma in front, continuing their top form. For the first time since 2020, Roma have won four league games in a row, while &lt;strong&gt;Como &lt;/strong&gt;remain vulnerable at the end of games, having dropped 17 points from winning positions this season. &lt;strong&gt;Saelemaekers &lt;/strong&gt;has been revitalised under Ranieri. He has been the Giallorossi’s best scorer since the new manager’s arrival and he is the league’s most &lt;strong&gt;prolific midfielder &lt;/strong&gt;since the beginning of 2025 (four goals). &lt;strong&gt;Dobvyk&lt;/strong&gt;, however, with 14 goals so far this season, became the highest goal-scoring player of any Summer 2024 signing in Serie A.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;57921ccb-fce3-45d5-9edf-07f2c976a697&#34; data-image-id=&#34;57921ccb-fce3-45d5-9edf-07f2c976a697&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/93ef8959-ceff-44eb-a20f-b949f1d25955/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;57921ccb-fce3-45d5-9edf-07f2c976a697&#34; data-image-id=&#34;57921ccb-fce3-45d5-9edf-07f2c976a697&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lazio &lt;/strong&gt;shocked San Siro with Pedro’s penalty in the 97th minute, forcing AC Milan into a third consecutive league defeat. &lt;strong&gt;Zaccagni&lt;/strong&gt;, on four goals and four assists in 2025, put the visitors in front before &lt;strong&gt;Chukwueze &lt;/strong&gt;found a late equaliser. &lt;strong&gt;Pedro’s&lt;/strong&gt; penalty was the latest goal AC Milan have conceded in 20 seasons and it secured the Biancocelesti’s second win at San Siro in the three-point-per-win era. The Spaniard is on six goals this season while Zaccagni has now equalled his record for goal in a single season in all competitions (ten). AC Milan, following Pavlović’s sending-off, have now had &lt;strong&gt;five red cards this season&lt;/strong&gt;, only behind Verona on seven.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;bad70598-24bf-420c-a8c7-a74423cfbd5a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;bad70598-24bf-420c-a8c7-a74423cfbd5a&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/1ad0ee6e-6c5f-4cd3-98de-aa22b672aad7/GALLERY.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;bad70598-24bf-420c-a8c7-a74423cfbd5a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;bad70598-24bf-420c-a8c7-a74423cfbd5a&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus &lt;/strong&gt;took advantage of this weekend’s earlier results by beating Hellas Verona thanks to their midfielders bursting into the box. &lt;strong&gt;Khéphren Thuram &lt;/strong&gt;opened the scoring, converting Cambiaso’s first assist of the season, and setting his own personal record for goal involvements in a single league season in Europe’s top five leagues (three goals, four assists). Teun &lt;strong&gt;Koopmeiners &lt;/strong&gt;scored the second of the match and his second of the season. Since his debut in the league in 2021/22, no midfielder has scored more Serie A goals than the Dutchman (28). Motta’s side secured four successive wins and they earned their &lt;strong&gt;14th league clean sheet &lt;/strong&gt;this season, more than any other European side (Atletico Madrid have 13). For &lt;strong&gt;Verona&lt;/strong&gt;, they played the same Starting XI for the second game in a row but their loss meant that they remain four points from the relegation zone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;56ed221d-6d71-40c1-92b8-c838291aff2b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;56ed221d-6d71-40c1-92b8-c838291aff2b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/42b730c2-cf35-4d1c-ab3c-e22bf42114fb/HL.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;56ed221d-6d71-40c1-92b8-c838291aff2b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;56ed221d-6d71-40c1-92b8-c838291aff2b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every goal from round 27, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/tutti-i-gol-della-27a-giornata-1456d27ma581mi&#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;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

Napoli and Inter’s draw and Atalanta dropping points means that it is all getting very close and unpredictable in the title race. Outcomes that seemed impossible weeks ago are now completely viable. The last time that the gap between first and fourth was so small was back in the 1986/87 season.&nbsp;Juventus, in particular, have really turned it around and are now challenging for the title. With seven consecutive wins since the start of February, Motta’s side have been able to find their swing after a run of draws and they’re now only six points off the top. The battle for fourth place is more open than ever, with Lazio only two points behind the Bianoconeri after beating AC Milan at San Siro for only the second time in the three-points-per-win era in Serie A. Bologna kept up their form while Roma continued their amazing streak. After a difficult start with two defeats in his first two matches, Ranieiri’s Giallorossi were only two points off the relegation zone. Now, however, they have overtaken AC Milan in eighth place, only four points behind Bologna who are also looking to secure a European place next season.Fiorentina got back to winning ways after three consecutive defeats. Gosens’ header added to Lecce’s misery, getting on the end of Dodô’s cross in a classic wing-back to wing-back play. The German full-back confirmed himself as the most prolific in Europe in his position. Since his debut in Europe’s top five leagues, in 2017/18, he has scored 37 goals, at least four more than any other full-back. After the break, Beltrán wasted two golden chances to double the lead, first in hitting the post from the spot, missing his first Serie A penalty on his fourth attempt, and he then hit the bar. The Viola still seem to struggle in one particular area: with seven missed penalties in all competitions since the start of the season, they have the worst record of any team in Europe’s top five leagues.<figure data-asset-id="a6ddcb92-403e-4259-a17f-5309a6f89016" data-image-id="a6ddcb92-403e-4259-a17f-5309a6f89016"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/697b17c2-245b-4a99-9b8f-b60e3df956a8/Sito_HERO_fio.png" data-asset-id="a6ddcb92-403e-4259-a17f-5309a6f89016" data-image-id="a6ddcb92-403e-4259-a17f-5309a6f89016" alt=""></figure>Atalanta couldn’t manage more than a 0-0 home draw against a solid and well-organised Venezia side, who have now gone four games in a row without scoring however they secured their second consecutive clean sheet.

Dimarco put Inter ahead with a stunning free-kick, putting an end to Inter’s long streak without scoring a direct free-kick since against Bologna back in November 2022. Napoli reacted in the second half, piling on the pressure and it was, in fact, Billing who found the back of the net, becoming Napoli’s second-ever Danish goalscorer after Harold Nielsen in 1968/69. Conte’s side didn’t lose to their title rivals but they didn’t manage to win again: for the first time in his managerial career, Conte has gone five league games in a row without a win. Inter, on the other hand, added to their goal tally this season, which is the best of any team (60 goals, 31 away) but they couldn’t increase their lead at the top.<figure data-asset-id="db02fa83-23b9-4cee-9757-99b84a473389" data-image-id="db02fa83-23b9-4cee-9757-99b84a473389"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/331074dd-f89a-4489-881e-15747b043cc2/Sito_HERO_napo.png" data-asset-id="db02fa83-23b9-4cee-9757-99b84a473389" data-image-id="db02fa83-23b9-4cee-9757-99b84a473389" alt=""></figure>Udinese continued their great run of form by securing their fourth win in five games, beating Parma thanks to Thauvin’s penalty. The French attacker has now reached double figures in goal involvements in the league this season with seven goals and three assists. Lukaku is the only other player over the age of 30 to have achieved this feat. The Friulian side are now on 39 points and they secured a third consecutive clean sheet, showing their return to defensive solidity. Parma lost their first game under Chivu and they failed to score away against Udinese for the first time in eleven meetings. Padelli was back in action for Udinese and he made his first Serie A appearance in three years.&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="592eddd0-da00-46b6-a5fa-eeba3e89c1f1" data-image-id="592eddd0-da00-46b6-a5fa-eeba3e89c1f1"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/6f7b84d7-f9ee-403d-916d-c1bd6297a67f/Sito_HERO_udi_.png" data-asset-id="592eddd0-da00-46b6-a5fa-eeba3e89c1f1" data-image-id="592eddd0-da00-46b6-a5fa-eeba3e89c1f1" alt=""></figure>Torino beat Monza with another strong performance, ensuring a second successive win thanks to Elmas and Casadei’s goals. The ex-Napoli player scored his second goal in three appearances for Torino, becoming only the second foreign player (after Sanabria) to score two goals in his first two matches for their club in the three-points-per-win era. Casadei also had an outstanding performance with six attempted shots and eight passes into the opposition’s box, capping off his game with his first Serie A goal this season. Il Toro have won two in a row for the first time since August and they have kept a clean sheet away from home for the first time since December. Furthermore, this win means that Torino have become the fourth team (after Lazio, Lecce and Roma), to avoid defeat against Monza in each of their first six meetings in Italy’s top flight. &nbsp;&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="3b3f3e16-1617-4cdf-a1a7-567b0e08824c" data-image-id="3b3f3e16-1617-4cdf-a1a7-567b0e08824c"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/0c8026c9-7b32-4f6f-a511-f7cfe093a7ab/HL.png" data-asset-id="3b3f3e16-1617-4cdf-a1a7-567b0e08824c" data-image-id="3b3f3e16-1617-4cdf-a1a7-567b0e08824c" alt=""></figure>Genoa avoided two defeats in a row thanks to Vásquez’s last-minute goal against Empoli. The Azzurri, who broke a streak of four successive losses, got in front through Grassi’s opener, scoring his first Serie A goal after five years. The Grifone conceded their first goal at home since 21 December 2025, but a centre-back scored for them for the seventh time this season (the best record of any team), showing that their defence is also effective in front of goal. Empoli, on the other hand, avoided five successive losses in the league but they remain in the relegation zone, having only won three points in 2025, bettering only Reims, Las Palmas and Ipswich’s record in Europe’s top five leagues.<figure data-asset-id="8e89d8d7-e3e5-406b-a161-1eea17a631cf" data-image-id="8e89d8d7-e3e5-406b-a161-1eea17a631cf"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/044085f1-f126-4bc9-83f2-971af21b4b96/HL.png" data-asset-id="8e89d8d7-e3e5-406b-a161-1eea17a631cf" data-image-id="8e89d8d7-e3e5-406b-a161-1eea17a631cf" alt=""></figure>Bologna came from behind against Cagliari thanks to Orsolini’s brace, sealing the Rossoblù`s fifth consecutive home win. Bologna’s matchwinner continued his goal-scoring prowess in the league this season: with 59 goals since 2018/19, he is the most prolific of any Italian player in the league. Bologna are also the team to have won the most points from losing positions this season (16). Piccoli, who put Cagliari in front, equalled his own record for away goals in a single season (four), while Bologna became the first side against which he has scored more than once in his top-flight career.<figure data-asset-id="b9c21745-1525-46e8-89d1-5ef4fd11e61e" data-image-id="b9c21745-1525-46e8-89d1-5ef4fd11e61e"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/eee3f1ba-edd3-45b3-8c48-e4ffe9e032ea/HL.png" data-asset-id="b9c21745-1525-46e8-89d1-5ef4fd11e61e" data-image-id="b9c21745-1525-46e8-89d1-5ef4fd11e61e" alt=""></figure>Roma continued climbing the table under Ranieri and they registered their fourth win in a row after coming back against Como. Da Cunha opened the scoring but Saelemaekers and Dovbyk got Roma in front, continuing their top form. For the first time since 2020, Roma have won four league games in a row, while Como remain vulnerable at the end of games, having dropped 17 points from winning positions this season. Saelemaekers has been revitalised under Ranieri. He has been the Giallorossi’s best scorer since the new manager’s arrival and he is the league’s most prolific midfielder since the beginning of 2025 (four goals). Dobvyk, however, with 14 goals so far this season, became the highest goal-scoring player of any Summer 2024 signing in Serie A.&nbsp;<figure data-asset-id="57921ccb-fce3-45d5-9edf-07f2c976a697" data-image-id="57921ccb-fce3-45d5-9edf-07f2c976a697"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/93ef8959-ceff-44eb-a20f-b949f1d25955/HL.png" data-asset-id="57921ccb-fce3-45d5-9edf-07f2c976a697" data-image-id="57921ccb-fce3-45d5-9edf-07f2c976a697" alt=""></figure>Lazio shocked San Siro with Pedro’s penalty in the 97th minute, forcing AC Milan into a third consecutive league defeat. Zaccagni, on four goals and four assists in 2025, put the visitors in front before Chukwueze found a late equaliser. Pedro’s penalty was the latest goal AC Milan have conceded in 20 seasons and it secured the Biancocelesti’s second win at San Siro in the three-point-per-win era. The Spaniard is on six goals this season while Zaccagni has now equalled his record for goal in a single season in all competitions (ten). AC Milan, following Pavlović’s sending-off, have now had five red cards this season, only behind Verona on seven.<figure data-asset-id="bad70598-24bf-420c-a8c7-a74423cfbd5a" data-image-id="bad70598-24bf-420c-a8c7-a74423cfbd5a"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/1ad0ee6e-6c5f-4cd3-98de-aa22b672aad7/GALLERY.png" data-asset-id="bad70598-24bf-420c-a8c7-a74423cfbd5a" data-image-id="bad70598-24bf-420c-a8c7-a74423cfbd5a" alt=""></figure>Juventus took advantage of this weekend’s earlier results by beating Hellas Verona thanks to their midfielders bursting into the box. Khéphren Thuram opened the scoring, converting Cambiaso’s first assist of the season, and setting his own personal record for goal involvements in a single league season in Europe’s top five leagues (three goals, four assists). Teun Koopmeiners scored the second of the match and his second of the season. Since his debut in the league in 2021/22, no midfielder has scored more Serie A goals than the Dutchman (28). Motta’s side secured four successive wins and they earned their 14th league clean sheet this season, more than any other European side (Atletico Madrid have 13). For Verona, they played the same Starting XI for the second game in a row but their loss meant that they remain four points from the relegation zone.<figure data-asset-id="56ed221d-6d71-40c1-92b8-c838291aff2b" data-image-id="56ed221d-6d71-40c1-92b8-c838291aff2b"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/42b730c2-cf35-4d1c-ab3c-e22bf42114fb/HL.png" data-asset-id="56ed221d-6d71-40c1-92b8-c838291aff2b" data-image-id="56ed221d-6d71-40c1-92b8-c838291aff2b" alt=""></figure>Every goal from round 27, <a href="https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/tutti-i-gol-della-27a-giornata-1456d27ma581mi" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">click here</a>.(Photo LaPresse)
