Serie A – Top headlines

  • Weston McKennie scored his 4th goal of the season in the 3-0 win over Crotone and with that strike, he became the top American scorer in Serie A history, overtaking Michael Bradley (3).

  • Cristiano's brace against Crotone means he has scored against every opposition he has faced in Serie A. They were also the 78th different team he has scored against in Europe's top-five leagues, with only Ibrahimovic (79) outperforming him in that aspect in the 21st century.

  • Romelu Lukaku became the first player since Benito Lorenzi in 1950 to score in four consecutive Milan derbies after netting a brilliant solo goal in the 3-0 win over AC Milan.

  • Donnarumma made his 200th appearance in the unfortunate loss, becoming the youngest player to reach this feat (21 years and 361 days), surpassing the previous record holder Gianluigi Buffon.

  • Lazio's 1-0 win over Sampdoria saw Simone Inzhagi reach his 100th managerial win in the Italian top-flight.

Top matches to watch in Serie A: Feb. 26-28, 2021

Juventus vs Spezia: The visitors might be close to the relegation zone, but after beating AC Milan 2-0, Juventus must be wary of their opposition. Having climbed up to third, Cristiano and Co. cannot afford another slip-up, especially given that the Rossoneri are there for the taking.

Sassuolo vs Napoli: Having gone 4-2 down at Atalanta, Gattuso's men know that they must bounce back. They are only four points behind fourth-placed Roma, but given how congested the race to qualify for the UCL is, Insigne and Co. must return to winning ways.

AC Milan vs Udinese: All that was said about Napoli holds true for Milan as well. Having suffered back-to-back defeats in the league, the Rossoneri are in danger of crumbling in the 2020/21 Scudetto title race. Udinese are a mid-table team, but after the 2-0 loss to Spezia, Pioli's side should know that means nothing.
