Genoa: Juventus moved to within seven points of Milan after they beat the Serie A leaders 3-1 AT the San Siro. 23-year-old forward Federico Chiesa was outstanding with two goals in either half. The first assisted by Paulo Dybala.
Milan did tie things up thanks to a brilliant finish from Davide Calabria as they got back into the game. But Chiesa's second goal, once more assisted by Dybala, gave Juve the lead and Weston McKennie added to it, as the Turin giants start to stir.
It was a tale of two penalties for Inter Milan in their 2-1 defeat to mid-table Sampdoria - Alexis Sanchez and then Ashley Young should have given them the lead. The next spot-kick fell to Sampdoria after Nicolo Barella handled the ball. He was unlucky but that mattered little as Antonio Candreva drove home the advantage. It was an even-sided battle but the home side's finishing was more polished. Good skill and an even better cross from Mikkel Candreva - well finished by Keita Balde.

Inter did get on the scoresheet in the second half, but it wasn't enough. Antonio Conte side stay a point behind Milan. Roma have been impressive recently. This their fourth win in 5.
The pick of the goals from Real Madrid cast off Borja Mayoral. This was his second of the game as Roma ran out 3-1 over Crotone. They stay in the third spot. Napoli drop to the fifth spot after their third defeat in five league games.
After taking the lead over Spezia thanks to Andrea Petagna they conceded two second-half goals - the first a penalty, and the second from Tommaso Pobega as Spezia, who had been down to 10-men, crawl out of the relegation zone.
