In this report, we will now try to look at some of the best goals scored in this round.

1) Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan)

The Italy midfielder has been known to score some outrageous goals and this would definitely add to his collections. Hakan Calhanoglu passed it his teammate on the edge of the box and Barella did the rest as his first touch gave the ball a slight bounce before unleashing a ferocious strike that found the top left corner.

2) Che Adams (Torino)

This goal would have made it as the best goal for the week in any other week as Che Adams got to the ball on the half way line and unleashed a strong shot from distance. It turned out to be a good decision as his effort found its way into the middle of the goal, leaving the keeper to just shake his head in disbelief.

3) David Neres (Napoli)

While this goal will count as an unlucky own goal for Lautaro Giannetti, deflecting the ball into his own net, the Napoli winger who replaced the injured Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the starting lineup did all the hard work as he made his way through several opposition defenders, having his first shot deflected before the rebound was turned into the net by Giannetti.

4) Nikola Krstovic (Lecce)

After missing a penalty and another good chance to score earlier in the game, the striker finally made up for those missed chances by scoring the winning goal for his team. He scored with a brilliant shot into the left side of the goal after being released inside the box by a superb lofted pass from Santiago Pierotti, hitting a one time shot that gave the keeper no chance of stopping it.

5) Carlos Augusto (Inter Milan)

It is not everyday that we see his name on the scoresheet but his first goal for the team this season was a beauty. Federico Dimarco produced a sweet pass and picks out Carlos Augusto inside the box and he produced one of the most exquisite first touch to set himself for the goal, with his shot going into the bottom right corner for the fifth goal of the game.

6) Simon Sohm (Parma)

It was a great individual effort from the player even if he was unable to prevent his team from losing the match. Mandela Keita found his teammate with a clever pass. Sohm took it from there as he stepped inside his man on the edge of the box and whipped a tremendous shot into the bottom left corner for his second goal in the game.

7) Romelu Lukaku (Napoli)

With a beautiful pass from Scott McTominay in their own half, Lukaku found himself one-on-one with the keeper, while holding out a defender that tried to take the ball off him. He managed to place the ball beyond the keeper for the equalizer.

8) Frank Zambo Anguissa (Napoli)

An amazing individual effort from Anguissa after he was put through by Giovanni Simeone following some beautiful exchange of passes from the team and the midfielder ended it with a strike from inside the penalty area after shrugging off his marker, sending the ball precisely into the bottom left corner and makes it 1:3.

9) Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan)

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who had been absolutely dominating in the match finally got an assist as he laid the ball off to Thuram in between two defenders and the French striker managed to wiggle his way out of his markers and his shot from close range went beyond helpless keeper and into the net for the final goal of the game.

The Dutch defender was a torn in flesh of the Lazio team throughout the match as his high leap led to the penalty for the opening goal, then he made the assist for the second goal before finally getting his name on the scoresheet for the fourth goal. Again, he jumped the highest to connect with a perfect cross from Alessandro Bastoni and planted his close-range header into the left side of the goal.
