Roma won against Torino, and Fiorentina did their job against Benevento, as Sassuolo beat SPAL.

Our Team of the Week will see a 4-4-2 formation deployed. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Samir Handanovic – Inter (3 Team of the Week appearances)

Maurizio Sarri said it as soon as the game ended: “Handanovic is a fantastic player”. He kept Inter in the game with at least four crucial saves in a fundamental game.

Daniele Rugani – Juventus

The decisive goal to give Juve the lead again, in a crazy game in Udine. First time in his career in which he gets a goal and an assist in the same game.

Milan Skriniar – Inter (4 apps)

Rock solid as always, even against Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne. A clean, consistent defender.

Kalidou Koulibaly – Napoli (4 apps)

Like Skriniar on the other side of the pitch, Koulibaly was impeccable against Mauro Icardi.

Aleksandar Kolarov – Roma (2 apps)

Rightly praised by his coach at the end of the game, the former Manchester City player got the Giallorossi the three points with a trademark free kick.

Matias Vecino – Inter

Concentrated for the whole game, able to attack and defend, only Raul Albiol could avoid him scoring what could have been the winning goal.

Sami Khedira – Juventus

The first hat-trick of his professional career to get Juve out of a very difficult situation. Perfect.

Lucas Torreira – Sampdoria (2 apps)

Another phenomenal performance in the regista role, dictating the tempo and being useful both in covering defence and feeding the Blucerchiati attackers.

Marco Benassi -Fiorentina

Finally, his first goal for Fiorentina, as he is finding his feet in the new position behind the striker.

Matteo Politano – Sassuolo

The goal that marked the difference between Sassuolo and SPAL, a huge result in the relegation battle.

Roberto Inglese – Chievo

Sergio Pellissier scored the winner, but Inglese put two past Hellas in the Verona derby, shining once again this season.
