Juventus 5 – 1 Sampdoria
Juventus brought themselves right back into the title race with an outstanding 5-1 victory over Sampdoria. at the Stadio Olimpic Torino.
Two goals from Amauri and goals from Chiellini, Camoranesi and Trezeguet made sure all three points were staying in Turin. Giampaolo Pazzini got Sampdoria’s consolation.
This was a much hyped match, with both clubs making fine starts to the season.
Juventus started the game in positive fashion. After just 10 minutes Castellazzi saved from a Grosso shot, Diego’s effort from the rebound was deflected out for a corner, the resulting corner produced an outstanding saved from Castellazzi who got down to his right to save a Chiellini header.
Juventus continued to dominate and Amauri was the next player to come close with a 14-yard drive which was cleared off the line by Lucchini.
The opening goal soon came on the 27th minute.. The Sampdoria defence fell asleep during a corner from Diego, allowing Amauri an easy tap-in.
Sampdoria were looking shaky, with just two minute till half time Juventus added a second, Chiellini slotting in an Amauri cross.
The second half continued in the same vain as the first. Juventus added a third just five minutes after the restart. Diego and Giovinco played some tidy football down the left, with Giovinco firing in a cross for Camoranesi to tap in at the back post.
Samp’s misery was to continue as Juventus continued to dominate, on the 63rd minute Amauri was to add a forth. Camoranesi crossed in from the right, the Samp defence failed to get anything on it and the Juventus forward headed in.
Sampdoria finally managed to put a noticeable attack together just two minutes later, they got their consolation from it, Cassano whipped the ball in for Pazzini to nod the ball home but it too little too late for the Blucerchiati.
Juventus went on to complete the route, just two minutes from time, substitute David Trezeguet nodded in a wonderful cross from full back Fabio Grosso.
Sampdoria 4 – 1 Bologna Highlights
Sampdoria 4 – 1 Bologna
Sampdoria blew Bologna away in a scintillating first half performance. Antonio Cassano was the star of the show.
Sampdoria went into the game with the chance to return to the top of the table, for a few hours anyway. They were boosted by the news that top marksman Giampaolo Pazzini would be play the game wearing a protective mask. 
This was Bologna's first game under the leadership of Franco Colomba who replaced Giuseppe Papadopulo who was sacked last week, it wasn't to be a happy debut.
It took Sampdoria just 7 minutes to take the lead, a fantastic first touch fron Cassano on the right wing took him past Lanna, he then laid the ball back to Pazzini to knock in from six yards.
Bologna had a chance moments later with Di Vaio skimming the post with a header.
It didn't take Samp long to double their lead though, Pazzini played in a cross from the left for the unmarked Mannini to fire in a spectacular volley. What a goal!
Not long after Sampdoria went on to grab a third, confidence was visibly high as Samp knocked the ball around. Reto Ziegler picked the ball up just outside the D, he spun his marker and fired the ball into the bottom corner, another classy goal from Sampdoria.
Things got even worse for Bologna as they were reduced to ten men after Di Vaio back chatted the referee and was given his second booking and was sent off.
This really was a first half for Bologna to forget, with just 32 minutes played, Sampdoria went on to make it 4-0. Some classy play from Fantantonio once again, he turned two Bologna defenders inside out then crossed in for an easy for Mannini to head in and grab his second goal of the game.
Sampdoria took their foot off the gas in the 2nd half and they got caught out. Osvaldo who had just came on, scored with his first touch of the game, after some sloppy defending from Sampdoria allowed the forward to tap into an unguarded net.
Samp strolled though the remaining 2nd half and went on to claim the 3 points which returned them to the top of the table for a few hours atleast.
Lazio 1 – 1 Sampdoria Highlights
Samp to sign Under-20 World Champion?
Sampdoria are being linked to Ghana’s Under-20 World Cup winning midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, according to the Italian Press.
The 19-year-old holding midfielder scored the winning penalty in the Under-20 World Cup Final against Brazil earlier this month.
Blucerchiati director general Beppe Marotta is rumoured to be in talks with Agyemang-Badu’s Ghanaian club Asante Kotoko about a move when the transfer window next opens in January.
Marotta is apparently preparing an early bid so he can beat some of Europe’s biggest clubs to the Ghanaian's signature.
Agyemanf-Badu has some previous Europe experience. He had trials with Wolves and Middlesbrough in 2008, and spent six months on loan at Spanish side Recreativo Huelva this year.
He returned to Asante Kotoko in September before travelling to Egypt for the Under-20 World Cup.
