[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Julio Sergio [Roma]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Made the save of the season when he sprang up from the floor to tip a belter from Mauri over the bar. Roma can also thank him for punching clear from several corners. Stupendous.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Martin Caceres [Juventus]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]The Uruguayan set his stall out for the night with a decisive sliding challenge on Dejan Stankovic. Was always at the sharp end and settled into the right-back role without problems. Influential.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Andrea Ranocchia [Bari]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Made an excellent and crucial goalmouth clearance on the line from Quagliarella. Kept on breaking up Napoli attacks and then went up field and scored himself with a quick-thinking header. Aggressive.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Giorgio Chiellini [Juventus]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]The masked marauder does not waste time on niceties, stop them at all costs is Chiellini’s credo and it certainty works. The no-nonsense defender was playing with a broken nose but was still equal to anything the Nerazzurri asked. Assertive.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Luca Antonini [Milan]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Playing in his first full game, his perfect pass set up Ronaldinho’s assist for Borriello’s goal. Always alert, he used the flanks to excellent effect supporting his teammates. Athletic.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Claudio Marchisio [Juventus]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]His quick-thinking and even quicker feet saw him score a fine goal and also clear the ball off the line from a corner. Caused Inter no end of problems all match. Magical.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Andrea Pirlo [Milan]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Back to his very best, controlling the play from the centre of the field. One minute leading attacking probes, the next defending his back four with all his massive heart. Influential.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Clarence Seedorf [Milan]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Forever prompting his forwards with his precise passing the Dutch ace was the epitome of cool. He also scored with a scintillating strike into the top corner of the net. Commanding.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Juan Vargas [Fiorentina]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]A top class performance and goal by the left-winger as he made things happen for the Viola. Eventually rewarded with a superb strike that absolutely whizzed by a flat-footed Consigli. Quicksilver.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Fabio Quagliarella [Napoli]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]A Man of the Match performance with two goals each side of setting up Maggio’s strike. His first a perfect header past a flying Gillet, his second a controlled drive into the net. Exceptional
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Jonathan Biabiany [Parma]
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]The on-loan Inter forward scored twice, breaking his Serie A duck in the process. A well-measured run saw him perfectly placed to slot home his first, while his second was slammed home from inside the area. Enthusiastic.[/FONT]
