With these results, the title race is still well balanced, and Atalanta could still get back in, depending on other results, but for this report, we will now take a look at some of the best goals scored in this round over the weekend.

1) Moise Kean (Fiorentina)

It was a wonderful goal that came out of almost nothing as a cross from a free kick is whipped deep into the box by Rolando Mandragora and Kean, with his back to the goal managed to get in a shot, sending the ball inside the right post.

2) Hans Nicolussi Caviglia (Venezia)

The Juventus midfielder who is on loan at Venezia scored a beautiful goal from a free kick, with the ball going over the wall and ending up inside the left post after a superb strike.

3) Angelino (Roma)

Before the goal, the game was headed for another slim win for the Serie A leaders until the wing-back popped up with the important goal, picking up a cross on the edge of the 18-yard box and hitting the ball first time, into the bottom right corner with a lovely finish.

4) Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus)

After a couple of rough days for the former Fiorentina forward, he finally got a goal that will probably be the start of a good period for him at the club as he produced a moment of pure magic and scored a spectacular goal by striking the ball into the top left corner of the net, thereby ensuring the result.

5) Nikola Krstovic (Lecce)

The striker was really on an inspired level in the game as his goal gave his team the equalizer before his two assists gave them the win. For the goal, he managed to find space in the box and from close range powered an unstoppable header into the right of the goal after a cheeky lofted pass from Thorir Johann Helgason.

6) Iker Bravo (Udinese)

Recent signing, Oumar Solet did most of the work as he showed great strength to beat his marker before finding Iker Bravo, with a cheeky pass inside the box, and his first-time shot with the outside of his boot is precise and sailed into the net.

7) Leonardo Spinazzola (Napoli)

The former Roma man had given Napoli the lead in the first half at the Stadio Olimpico as he collected a pass and from inside the box he lifts the ball over the on-rushing goalkeeper, Mile Svilar.

8) Stefan de Vrij (Inter)

After hitting the post thrice and being denied what looked like a clear penalty, Inter finally found the equalizer in the Milan Derby as a chested down ball from Nicola Zalewski to De Vrij did the trick. The Dutch centre-back found himself unmarked inside the box and slotted a first-time shot past the keeper to give the Nerazzurri a point in the encounter.

9) Roberto Piccoli (Cagliari)

The tall striker scored to give his team a lifeline in the game, even if they eventually lost as he met a corner and displayed his eye for goal as he coolly plants the header from close range into the left side of the goal.

10) Koni De Winter (Genoa)

The centre-back jumped highest inside the box to meet a corner kick by Aaron Martin and his well-placed header ends up in the top left corner, leaving the goalkeeper flapping in the wind, but it was not enough to spark a comeback for his team as they lost 2-1 to Fiorentina.
