1) Hakan Calhanoglu (Inter Milan)

The Turkish international was making his first start Serie A start for the team after returning from injury and he almost single-handedly won them the game, but for a bit of bad luck. After Napoli had taken the lead against the run of play, it was the former AC Milan midfielder who got the equalizer. After getting a pass from a teammate, he turns and hits an unstoppable shot that seemed to bend the keeper’s outstretched arm for the equalizer at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.

2) Suat Serdar (Hellas Verona)

After a turn over of possession in the middle of the, Serdar managed to have the ball and had a little surging run forward before striking the ball and taking it beyond the goalkeeper for the equalizer after an early Moise Kean goal had given the home side the lead.

3) Moise Kean (Fiorentina)

It has definitely been a great turn around in fortune for Moise Kean since making the move from Juventus and today he hit a hat-trick to take Fiorentina into the top four of the table. His third goal was definitely worthy of mention as a long ball from the keeper, David De Gea left him one on one with a defender and after beating his marker, he hits a shot into the bottom left corner for his eight Serie A of the season.

4) Mattia Zaccagni (Lazio)

Few minutes after hitting the post from a similar angle, the Italian winger made no mistake moments later as he drifted towards goal from the right wing and hit a shot from the edge of the box, in front of two defenders. The keeper was rooted to the spot as the ball settled into the bottom left corner of the post for the only goal of the game.

5) Hassane Kamara (Udinese)

It was a great goal as the player scored from almost nothing. He received a pass outside the box and while his strikers were expecting a cross, he hit a shot with his left foot that sailed beyond the hands of the goalkeeper into the net to give his team a shock lead at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo.

6) Stephan El Shaarawy (AS Roma)

With Roma facing a 2 goal deficit and time running out, El Shaarawy was on hand to score his second goal of the game, but it wasn’t enough to inspire a comeback for the Giallorossi and the result eventually led to the sacking of Ivan Juric. He was set up by Shomurodov and hit an unstoppable shot into the top right corner for his second goal of the game.

7) Gabriele Zappa (Cagliari)

Just like Leao, Zappa also grabbed a brace in this exciting 3-3 draw in Sardinia and his second goal was a beauty, meeting a cross from the left with a first-team volley into the roof of the net for the equalizing goal to leave the Rossoneri disappointed in a match that they thought they had won.

8) Rafael Leao (AC Milan)

While the Portuguese forward grabbed a brace, it was his second goal that made the list as a nice pass from Youssouf Fofana in their own half found him in between two defenders and he managed to beat them with pace, before taking the ball beyond the on-rushing goalkeeper and slide the ball into the net to help his team take the lead in the first half.

9) Emanuele Valeri (Parma)

A short taken corner arrived at his feet after a brief exchange of passes and he made no mistake from the edge of the outside box, hitting a strike that left the keeper rooted to a spot for the equalizer goal of the game for the away side, who went on to find the winner later on in the game.
