Roma held as Juventus and Napoli stumble

Napoli would have been within two points of the Serie A leaders had they defeated Chievo.

Goals from Davide Moscardelli and Gennaro Sardo sealed the defeat for Napoli.

Palermo bounced back from the defeat against Inter last Sunday to add more misery on Juventus.

Palermo defeated Juventus 2-1. Palermo had a two goal lead early in the first half, but Claudio Marchisio reduced the gap just before the break.

Some referee decisions in this match will be the talk of the day.

Palermo’s Cesare Bovo clearly handled the ball in the area. The replays show it was a clear handball, but it was waved off by the referee. The Juventus players were livid with the referee, but to no avail.

Roma also missed a chance to move into third place after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Brescia.

Marco Borriello put Roma in front just after the hour mark, but Eder equalised 11 minutes later to deny Roma the win.

Fiorentina defeated Geno 1-0 thanks to Mario Alberto Santana. The goal arrived five minutes before the break.

Lecce earned a dramatic victory over Parma in the final seconds of the match.

Substitute Ernesto Chevanton headed the ball in to secure Lecce a 1-0 vicotry over Parma.

Cagliari defeated Sampdoria 1-0 thanks to a goal from Radja Nainggolan.

Cesena and Catania played to a 1-1 draw to share the points, as Udinese and Bologna also played to a 1-1 draw.
