Serie A Matchday 10: Lazio reclaim top spot as Milan stun Inter and Parma shock Atalanta

Serie A’s tenth round delivered drama at both ends of the table. Lazio sit alone at the summit for the first time in years, Milan claimed a statement derby win, and a pair of Monday night results underlined the unpredictable nature of the campaign.

Saturday’s early shocks

The weekend opened with Bologna’s 2-1 victory over Monza and a rampant Roma performance away at Udinese. The Giallorossi ran out 5-2 winners, with Donyell Malen among the scorers, continuing their excellent start and moving them into the top three.

The standout result of the day came in the Milan derby. Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot and Daniele Moreira scored as AC Milan beat Inter 3-1. Alessandro Bastoni replied for the visitors, but the defeat ended Inter’s long unbeaten run and handed the initiative in the title race to the chasing pack.

Sunday’s title-race clarity

Lazio capitalised on Inter’s slip with a 2-1 home win over Cagliari. Gustav Isaksen and Andrea Pinamonti scored either side of M’Bala Nzola’s reply, lifting Gennaro Gattuso’s side to 28 points and clear at the top.

Elsewhere, Juventus secured a vital 2-0 victory over Napoli at the Allianz Stadium. Kerim Alajbegovic and Jérémie Boga found the net as the Bianconeri ended Napoli’s resistance and strengthened their position in the upper half. Como beat Venezia 1-0 through a Lucas da Cunha penalty, Frosinone defeated Torino 2-0, and Genoa edged Lecce 2-1.

Monday’s conclusions

Fiorentina claimed a 4-2 win at Sassuolo, with Franco Mastantuono among the scorers, giving the Viola a much-needed boost. The round closed with one of the results of the weekend: Parma’s 3-0 victory at Atalanta. Giovanni Fabbian, a Davide Zappacosta own goal and Simone Lontani’s fine strike secured Alberto Gilardino’s first win as Parma coach and left Maurizio Sarri under renewed pressure in Bergamo.

Serie A results for Match day 10

The results have reshaped the early-season narrative. Lazio’s consistency has them clear at the top, Milan’s derby triumph has restored belief at San Siro, and Parma’s shock win has given the lower half fresh hope. With the international break approaching, the table looks more open than it did a week ago.
