Welcome to the Stadio Dall'Ara here in Bologna. It is Bologna against Inter, round three of the Serie A season. I'm your match commentator, Richard Whittle.
|
It's Inter who gets going, playing from right to left.
|
Ball slipped through. Keita, from spark and then blasted over the crossbar. Gagliardini getting right onto the shot.
|
Pulgar. A dangerous ball to the back post. Handanović parries away.
|
With the sharp header, reflex save from Handanović.
|
Nainggolan. Keita. On the edge of the box here, Politano. And then the shot, yet again too hurried there.
|
Oh, it's a ball to the back post. Excellent header away. Nainggolan. Well, he had the power but lacked the direction.
|
Gagliardini. Keita. He can't turn away from Helander. Politano. Rolls the ball in. Nainggolan. Radja Nainggolan on the score sheet on his debut for Inter.
|
That's why they bought him. The player to make the difference.
|
The breakthrough comes from the big summer signing of Radja Nainggolan.
|
Poli.
|
Mattiello. Glancing header. Santander just wide on the far post. So close to the equalizer.
|
Vecino. Perišić. Excellent ball in, and there is the second. Off the substitutes bench and onto the score sheet, Antonia Candreva.
|
They don't want to concede a third. Perišić steps back inside. Perišić makes it number three for Inter. A rampant Inter here in Bologna.
|
Now, they can enjoy the international break. All smiles in the Inter ranks. Ivan Perišić on the score sheet. There goes the final whistle. Inter run out 3-0 winners here at Bologna.
|
We're heading towards the business end of the Seria A season and three very important points at stake tonight, with Milan, chasing a Champions League qualifying place in the top four, hosting an Empoli side.
|
Away we go then.
|
The right idea didn't quite come off for Rodriguez, who's in possession now though, with a good crossing position, and the header in. Two goals for the Brazilian now, Paquetá, since his move to Milan. The referee is going to have a look here, the VAR team. That took a while, didn't it, for VAR to decide against this? Offside.
|
Musacchio for Conti. Back with the Argentine again, Mateo Musacchio. A player who spent a lot of his career in Spain with Villarreal.
|
Castillejo, lovely turn. A great save by Drągowski. Brilliant effort from Samu Castillejo, equally good save. That's beautifully done by Castillejo there. Quick thinking. Look at this.
|
Kessié.
|
Breaks kindly for Samu Castillejo. A right footed effort this time. He helps it on his way, Drągowski. Another Milan corner. He just delayed a little bit too much there. I thought the block was going to come in, but Kessié shot away again.
|
No changes in personnel out there.
|
Castillejo. Kessié. Excellent ball in. Piatek doing what he does best.
|
Invariably, the Pole finds himself in the right spot. It was well crafted. He couldn't miss. Finally, Milan have the breakthrough.
|
Well, that should make this second half a much more open affair. Empoli have to gamble, but it could be two down here, and they are. Franck Kessié. Wide open down the center of their defense, Empoli. Kessié helps himself. Already in just a few second half moments, Empoli look to be out of this contest. Well, Castillejo there. He was the best player in the first half, you have to say. He looked the more likely to create something. There, he creates it beautifully.
|
Bakayoko. Good offer from Conti. In goes Castillejo. What a great finish. Impish from the Spaniard. He had about the width of the football to get it between the goalkeeper and his near post. Milan stretch out now into an unassailable 3-0 lead. Magnificent finish, really is. Again, they put a ball into an area. They don't try and pick anybody out. I'm sure that was in the team talk.
|
All the damage done in the second half. It's finished here at a delighted San Siro. Milan 3, Empoli 0.
|
What an evening for this team from East Dulwich in Southeast London. 21 years since they've been in the first rounds of the FA cup. It'll be Dulwich Hamlet to get the first rounds of the FA cup underway. Under pressure again here, phased in by Vose, couldn't find Nathan Smith. Dempsey brushed aside and underway by Jack Bridge of Carlisle. Not only that but into the path of McKirdy and there's a break on here for the League Two team. Olomola waiting in the penalty area, still McKirdy. They have to be careful. Olomola, Carlisle in front. Six games without a goal, it's over and it's his sixth of the season, perfect start for Steven Pressley and Carlisle United. McKirdy the provider, Olomola the scorer.
|
Vose.
|
McCoy. Almost something out of nothing from Marvin McCoy for Dulwich Hamlet.
|
Thomas. Gethin Jones on the overlap, and it sneaked in and it's McKirdy who was in there.
|
It's not one as neat from Jones. Again, as he did earlier on, just drilled it across the six yard box, and McKirdy, pretty much the same type of movement as well for him. Just getting across to the near post and the little flick. Taking it beyond Grainger in goal, no chance for the goalkeeper. That's a lot of productivity to the start of this second, obviously. One from McCoy. Mills is pulled back by Mellish.
|
to use his attributes in there again. Monakana's delivery over Mills and a free header Christian Smith has got Dulwich Hamlet right back in it. That's what they dreamt of, that's what they needed and the non league team have reduced it to two one.
|
the ball wouldn't come down from as well.
|
Mike Jones, what a strike, what a hit from Mike Jones. There was only one place that was going. It's his first goal of the season and the 32 year old has scored an absolute screamer. Wow. That is unstoppable.
|
Chapman being chased by Mike Jones. Lovely skill. He was entitled to have a go and headed safely by Collin. It was great feat. a very good play tonight as well, Ben Chapman. Opened up for him nicely, just couldn't quite generate enough power.
|
Clunis. McKirdy onside. Dulwich Hamlet have to take chances. McKirdy has rapped it up. Two for him, four for Carlisle. Harry McKirdy timed his run well and he's just dragged it onto the left foot as well and he has to go low and hard into the corner, it's a super finish. Second goal of the evening. He's been the star man for Carlisle tonight. Created the first goal, of course, as well but that's a lovely finish, really is. Well, Carlisle United had everything to lose tonight but Steven Pressley's team have gained a place in the second round draw from League Two in a professional and comfortable fashion in the end. Dulwich Hamlet have enjoyed the journey. Another chapter in this remarkable history in Southeast London.
|
Stefano Pioli's side aim to complete a perfect week in this most emotional of matches that pointingly reminds us of Davide Astori. Davide Nicola needs a performance from Udinese as pressure mounts on his job. We're underway here. D'Alessandro gives it first time, aiming for Mandragora, who's already played once for Italy, for the national side. Now the space is opening up. De Paul drifts his way through for a brilliant opening goal. He spurned the chance. A wonderful moment. A deserved moment for Udinese at the start of this match. Perhaps a little fortunate, Mandragora. Well, he does show his worth there. Milenković did not look comfortable. De Paul had to score.
|
A beautiful tribute from all of the supporters.
|
Good shape on it this time. The header. Wonderful save from Musso. Still in play. Chiesa.
|
Again, he's needed, but that was simply brilliant from the 24-year-old. Point-blank range, it was really well-caught.
|
Fofana, followed by Biraghi.
|
D'Alessandro, realizing the ball was behind him. Goes back into Nuytinck, who goes to Fofana.
|
Horizon on the end of the first half. Coming into view is De Paul. Chips it into the sun. Oh, and it's been missed. The opportunity for Pussetto is wasted, as that from De Paul. Goal scoring has not been the forte of Davide Nicola's Udinese side, and here's another example why. Really slashes at it, lacks composure.
|
The second half is underway. Fiorentina this time kicking us off. Now, Udinese streaming forward. Pussetto has to find the right option. Fofana is in the middle, De Paul to his right. Now, the Argentinian takes a sight at goal, and it's put in. It is put in by Larsen, and Udinese deservedly take the lead. Well, a fantastic counter attack results in the first goal of the game. What a vital goal for Davide Nicola.
|
Fiorentina, Edimilson. What a way to equalize. What a way to score your first goal for the club.
|
An absolute screamer from outside the area.
|
Veretout does have a wicked corner. Not quite the range that time. Wary of the shot, but Chiesa. Chiesa. Again, Musso denies and then the second opportunity. This is Veretout for a dramatic conclusion. The header, and save from Musso, crucially in the dying seconds from Ceccherini, the substitute. The final whistle goes. It finishes here, Udinese 1, Fiorentina 1. They had the form and the firepower, Fiorentina, coming in, but they've drawn for a 10th time this season.
|
It's cold in Verona but not quite minus like it is for Chievo, bottom of the table in minus figures. They seek their first win of the season today as Sassuolo want to keep going in the race for Europe. Welcome to the Stadio Bentegodi for Chievo, Sassuolo, round 11 in Serie A. I'm Gary Cappetta.
|
We're underway at the Bentegodi. Sassuolo starting
|
the movement by Stępiński. Picked out. It's a lovely ball, slightly too long there for Mario Stępiński. Concigli isn't happy with his defense there. Stępiński seemed onside. Good header by Boateng. Berardi looking for Boateng again. Bani gets a touch. Ball still in possession for Sassuolo. Di Francesco plays it back then Berardi with the shot.
|
Here's Boateng. Plays it nicely to Berardi and towards Di Francesco. The chance for Di Francesco. Federico Di Francesco breaks deadlock. His second goal of the season. Sassuolo lead at the Bentegodi with Di Francesco scoring his seventh Serie A goal.
|
All ready for the second half, Gian Piero Ventura, who would be losing the third consecutive game. The second half is underway. Chievo now attacking first looking to turn things around.
|
Now, Chievo attacking with Birsa finding Depaoli. The far post, it's Obi. Consigli gets a hand on that. Still, Obi plays it back to Magnanelli on the far post. Still alive, Birsa with his right foot. Deflection there. Now, Jaroszyński with the cross. This time Consigli catches it comfortably.
|
Let's see what Sassuolo can do on the counter. Great chance here. Three against three with Locatelli running, Sensi and Matri on the side of him. Stefano Sensi with the shot. It's wide with the chance to put the game to bed for Sassuolo wasted by Sensi. Lovely counter-attack here.
|
Ball coming in for Berardi. The chance to put the game to bed. Domenico Berardi. Sorrentino, fantastic save. Keeping Chievo alive.
|
Let's see if Chievo can get the vital equalizer. Giaccherini with the cross. Meggiorini and then Stępiński. His shot is blocked. It's not over yet. The cross.
|
Ball played inside. The chance for Berardi. Sorrentino again. And then whoa, what an own goal there by Giaccherini. It's over here. Sassuolo double their lead. It's Emanuele Giaccherini with a horrible own goal.
|
The final whistle is blown as Sassuolo win at Bentegodi, thanks to goal by Di Francesco the own goal by Giaccherini.
|
What a control that is from Zaha. Absolutely superb. Past Noble. Takes on Zabaleta. No one there for Palace. Comes through to Meyer and Ayew is in there and it's just wide. How did he not score? Inside the six-yard box the man who got the winner of the London Stadium should probably have scored here. Tomkins. Van Aanholt. Milivojević past Rice. Oh just over. You fancy him from Milivojević. Great technique. Catches the strike ever so well.
|
Antonio through for Snodgrass. Huge chance. Goal for West Ham United. Beautifully taken by Rob Snodgrass. That's a fantastic finish from that left foot of his. Sets that past Guaita. Midway through the second half. Milivojević has found James MacArthur. Riedewald on the outside. Instead, he crosses it himself. Ayew's header. Kouyate.
|
Against his former club, Cheikhou Kouyate has equalized for Crystal Palace.
|
Away by Guaita.
|
Milivojević up towards MacArthur. Ayew through the middle. Oh, Wickham. He's onside, what a chance for Conor Wickham and what a brilliant save from Roberto. Oh, that was his chance. It's a good save, but really should score. Maybe dink that over the goalkeeper.
|
Lanzini just staying onside. Cresswell. Snodgrass. what an incredible block by Riedewald. He looked destined to get his second.
|
That is a wonderful bit of defending. Well, that's as good as a goal, isn't it, if you're a defender? Certainly is. Wickham to Ayew. Oh, he still got it and still Ayew. Oh, what a goal for Crystal Palace. Absolutely magnificent. Double drive back to quick feet. What about that for a finish.
|
A very good evening to you from the Marassi, the Luigi Ferraris, in Genoa.
|
In one of the grand stadiums in Italian football, we are underway.
|
Insigne to hit it, oh, off the post. Mário Rui who never looked like he thought he was going to score. That's what he can do, Insigne. Lovely little ball around the corner from Allan, drives forward, hits it really well. The goalkeeper was beaten. Radu.
|
In from Piątek.
|
Now, Rômulo. It's a good ball in. Kouamé.
|
Once again, Napoli feel the pain at the Marassi.
|
What a cross. Yes, he worked hard to get on the end of it, Kouamé, and controls the header, but the cross from the right hand side is absolutely brilliant.
|
The pace on this cross, Hysaj gets caught, he doesn't get a jump in. Kouamé pulling on to the diminutive fullback.
|
Allan to turn inside for Hysaj, for insigne, and he rolls the pass for Callejón and Milik. That is a sensational save from Ionuț Radu, one of the best of the season so far. Great save, but what a move as well.
|
It looks simply like it's Mertens and Insigne up front. The referee has made the call. He is taking them off. The rain is too much.
|
The rain stopped, which is good news.
|
This is a good area to play. That's a good touch for Fabian.
|
The substitute does it for Ancelotti. Napoli, right back into the game. Well, that's combination football at its best, even on this sort of pitch. Really good finish as well from Fabian making the run from midfield.
|
Just bend it around the goalkeeper.
|
He takes a couple of yards and just bends it in quickly. Mishit it anyway but it travels a long way. Napoli have come from behind to lead.
|
It's a Genoa defender that got the final touch.
|
That is the end of it. It finishes Genoa one, Napoli two.
|
Welcome to the Ennio Tardini stadium. This week, it's the meeting of the two sides who are the bane of the City of Milan in the last match week: Parma against Cagliari. Last weekend, Parma recorded a surprise victory at San Siro against Inter, while Cagliari got an impressive draw against Milan in Sardinia. We're underway.
|
Stolen and now Gervinho can show us that famous sprinting power. Still going. Gervinho still going, gets the shot off just wide of the post, trademark run from Gervinho. Look where he picks the ball up in his own half. Then he goes on an angled run inside, gets past Klavan, sees off Ioniţă and a low shot. You can see what he was going for there. Dimarco,
|
Inglese is in there again. Inglese loops it over the keeper, Cragno. This time, has the goal been given? It looks like it has. Denied by the offside flag a few minutes ago. This time, Roberto Inglese is off the mark in the match, giving Parma the lead.
|
Excellent run. Inglese persistent, got lucky there from the deflection off Cragno. His shot cannoned off the goalkeeper, back into his face and into the net. There's a couple of checks, Referee Calvarese. The goal has been given. Parma do go into the lead. Luca Rigoni, Di Gaudio. Will he go for the cross? He plays it back. It's a shot from Antonino Barillà. The ball is still alive. Gervinho Gervinho pulls it back into the area. It's Luca Rigoni, a familiar sight, the raiding midfielder.
|
The second half starts. Marco Sau goes down. Referee says, "Play on now." Now Gervinho on one of those runs. Gervinho still going. Gervinho past another. What's the shot like? It's a fantastic shot. Gervinho. What a goal.
|
A standing ovation from the Tardini. Danger at one end. Gervinho picked the ball up and then showed his genius.
|
A rare lack of control from Srna but tenacity getting the ball back, plays it in. An attempted backflip by Marco Sau.
|
Had there been a foul in the build-up?
|
Won back by Parma. The break is on into the area. Ceravolo gets it back. Will he make it three? Great save by Cragno.
|
Referee Juan Paolo Calvarese blows the full-time whistle. Parma 2-0 Cagliari.
|
Alex Neil got the Norwich job after Preston had beaten the Canaries in this round of the FA Cup five years ago. He says he has fond memories of his two year spell at Carrow Road where he saw them promoted and relegated from the Premier League. Both sides are playing their fifth game in two weeks, so significant changes have been made. Against Aston Villa in the Premier League at Carrow Road a couple of months back. Some great clearance by Michael McGovern.
|
Here is Lewis, and now Stiepermann. Allowed to run. That's a good looking ball to Idah. What a start. Adam Idah has his first ever Norwich City goal Fresh from making his Premier League debut just a couple of days ago. It was a wonderful ball from Marco Stiepermann. He was allowed way too much room to advance. Idah showed composure to put it away.
|
Absolutely perfect ball to Idah. Passing by Billy Bodin, and he's managed to win it back. Opportunity here. Bodin sends it in. It's over the head of Stockley.
|
Rafferty delivers. Stockley. Not far away at all.
|
That was a wicked delivery from Joe Rafferty to Stockley, out.
|
Stockley's header just inches wide.
