At the premiere of the Maradona stadium in Serie A, Naples beat Sampdoria (the first and last team to which Diego scored goals from azzurro) turning the game around in the second half. Those from Ranieri, as they often do, locked in well, withstood the local attacks and went ahead before the break with a counterattack from Jankto. Gattuso changed the face of the team in the resumption, replacing Fabián and Politano with Petagna and Lozano. They were totally correct decisions, especially since the Mexican was intractable. The ex of the PSV put the tables with a great header to pass of Mertens, hit the post with a right hand and then reached the bottom and crossed for himself Petagna, who completed the comeback with another header. With this victory, the Partenopei occupy the third place three points behind the leadership of Milan, who will play tonight with Parma.
In fourth place, however, is Roma, who destroyed Mihajlovic's Bologna with a 5-1 away, scoring all their goals in the first half (something that had not happened since 1931). Fonseca's men went ahead thanks to an own goal from Poli when not even five minutes had passed. Dzeko, shortly after, made it 2-0, getting rid of Danilo. Pellegrini, with a great personal move, was the author of the 3-0, but as much in his own door, this time from Cristante, deluded the Rossoblú with changing the course of the confrontation. Veretout and Mkhitaryan, however, sentenced the contest before 45 ', although in the second half there was also emotion with three goals annulled by VAR (two by Bolonia), and a shot to the post by Borja Mayoral.
Victory also for Atalanta, who beat Fiorentina 3-0 with goals from Gosens, Malinovskyi and Toloi. Gasperini, after days of controversy over the alleged fight with 'Papu' Gómez, left the Argentine on the bench fueling rumors about his possible goodbye in January. Those of Bergamo, now, march five points from the Champions zone, while Viola still does not get up despite the arrival of Prandelli on the bench. The Tuscans have not won for six days and are getting closer to the relegation places.
