ALVISE CAGNAZZO: It was another exciting weekend of Serie A action, with table-toppers Napoli beating Roma, thanks to a late Victor Osimhen strike.

David Okereke has missed too many opportunities to make the definitive leap in quality. AC Milan have conceded 12 goals in 3 games and have a very serious problem in defence. And Sam Lammers, Filip Djuricic and Manolo Gabbiadini are struggling to find goals for Sampdoria at the other end. In a crucial clash against Juventus he was extraordinary, making three decisive saves to keep his side in contention from the likes of Arkadiusz Milik, Manuel Locatelli and Angel di Maria. He inspires players to attack opposing defenders with his competitive nature. In just the last week, the 25-year-old has scored three braces across both the league and the Coppa Italia and seems to have no limits this season. Osimhen scores beautiful goals consistently and his strike against Roma was a masterpiece of technique, precision and power. For a player whose place in the national team has been usurped by youngster Julian Alvarez, 12 goals and three assists in 20 games is an exceptional return. Monza's Nicolo Rovella and Jose Machin humiliated him, confirming how bad Juventus' transfer choices have been in recent years. His fantastic goal will go down in Serie A history for many years. 'I was sure of having a great season with the club. Is it a bird?
