The 9 games of Serie A Round 24 witnessed 21 goals. The meeting between Torino and Sassuolo will be played on March 17, but the round still offered plenty of excitement with movements on the points table.
Inter managed another three-goal victory, while leaders of the chasing pack Milan downed Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. Juventus kept hold of third place after their 1-1 draw against Verona on the road. Meanwhile, Atlanta squeezed into the top-four after a 0-2 win over Sampdoria on the road.
While Parma cannot find a way to convert leading positions into wins, Cagliari ended their winless run at the expense of Crotone. Crotone decided to let go of Giovanni Stroppa after the game and a new incumbent will be announced soon.
From intricate moves to blasts from outside the box, everything was on the show. Here is our pick of the Top 5 goals from Serie A Round 24.
Yann Karamoh vs. Spezia
Parma failed in yet another attempt to capitalize on their leads against Spezia. However, the start that Yann Karamoh gave the Crociati allowed the fans to think otherwise. The French forward went on an impressive solo run, leaving Spezia defenders in his wake. When he decided to pull the trigger, Ivan Provedel had no chance to stop the ball from crashing into the top left corner.
Jordan Veretout vs. Milan
With Inter easily dispatching off Genoa, Milan had to keep up the pace in their outing against Roma. The Rossoneri gave a good account of themselves with goals from Franck Kessié and Ante Rebic. However, the goal of the game came from the boots of Jordan Veretout in a losing cause. The French midfielder was set up by Leonardo Spinazzola, and his shot from the edge of the box sailed into the top right corner.
Romelu Lukaku vs. Genoa
Antonio Conte’s Inter cannot be stopped, as Genoa found out the hard way. Romelu Lukaku was at it again, as he continues to spearhead the Nerazzurri towards the Serie A title. The Belgian forward went on a solo run akin to his effort against Milan last weekend. The difference this time was that Lukaku started the proceedings on the night as compared to finishing off the scoring spree.
Ruslan Malinovskyi vs. Sampdoria
The Atalanta machine continues to grind out results since the departure of Papu Gomez. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men came under pressure from the hosts but managed to come through. They managed to score in the latter parts of both halves, the creativity of their star men bearing fruits of their labor. Ruslan Malinovskyi’s opener is our pick, as his link-up with Luis Muriel to pierce through the defense left La Samp defenders gasping for air.
Nicola Sansone vs. Lazio
Bologna had not won against Lazio in nine years but the run came to an end over the weekend. Both goals of the hosts came in the 19th minute of the respective periods. Ibrahima Mbaye opened the scoring in the first half but it was Nicola Sansone’s effort that got everyone up in their seats. The Italian forward volleyed home Musa Barrow’s cross to seal the affair.
