Hello my friends. Here are the Serie A Week 8 Results – Roundup, Eighth Round on Saturday 15, Sunday 16, and Monday 17 October  2016.   There are no change in the leadership.  Juventus continue as sole leader of the Serie A with 21 point and a positive goal difference of +12.

We have a change as far as the second position.  Yep.  Napoli losing the second position after being defeated at the San Paolo Stadium.  AS Roma causing the upset and humiliated Napoli.  Incredible so, a big fall.  Napoli remaining with 14 points went down from the 2nd to the 6th position!!!  Talking about a painful defeat.   Napoli 1- 3 AS Roma.  This victory sees AS Roma jumping from the 3rd to the 2nd position with 16 points.  Napoli will have a chance to recover next week if they defeat Crotone at the Adriatico Stadium.

Another surprise in the top 3 positions is seeing AC Milan jumping from the 6th to the 3rd position after defeating Chievo Verona at the Marc’Antonio Stadium.    Bam!  Surely, we expect a thriller game next week with AC Milan challenging Juventus at the San Siro Stadium.  You bet, AC Milan will look to defeat “Goliath” to gain momentum.

A sad result is that at the Renzo Barbera Stadium with Palermo celebrating their 1,000 game in Serie A.  Tough celebration because it was ruined after Torino defeated Palermo remaining with 6 points down to the 18th position.  Torino climbing to the 4th position with 14 points.  Palermo 1 – 4 Torino

A sour highlight in this round was the “Mauro Icardi Scandal.”  Imagine, the Curva Nord (Inter fans) contesting Icardi by displaying a long banner before the game and whistling, booing almost every time he touched the ball.

• Curva Nord – Inter fans display banner against Mauro Icardi: “You are not a man. You are not a Captain”

Inter lost the match against Cagliari at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium and went down to the 11th position.  Cagliari went up to the 13th position.

The cry for salvation is still unheard for Crotone!   Crotone who were promoted from Serie B is the only team without winning this season!!!!  Sassuolo defeated Crotone and remained in the last position with just 1 point. OUCH.

The top scorer of the Serie A:   AS Roma forward Edin Dzeko with 7 goals
