These Roma Skill Checks Will Make You Question Everything You Know About Chelsea

Stephan El Shaarawy Had Himself A Roman Hat Trick Against Chelsea
Stephan El Shaarawy scored what we’re forever calling a Roman Hat Trick.

El Shaarawy was at the center of it all, spoiling the return of Blues coach Antonio Conte to his native country.

This should have been an article in which Lazio were praised and evangelized; the remarkable rehabilitation of striker Ciro Immobile after years in the wilderness; the astounding performance of manager Simone Inzaghi, only appointed after Marcelo Biesla refused to show up for work on his first day; the way in which the entire team has blown away opposition this year, propelling themselves all the way up the table and sitting, right now, level with Juventus.

Gonzalo Higuain Provides Two World-Class Finishes To Sink Milan
Juventus defeated AC Milan 2-0 in this weekend’s marquee Serie A matchup with Gonzalo Higuain scoring a phenomenal brace to silence the San Siro.
The significance of the occasion was clearly not lost on Milan supporters as the 80,018-capacity San Siro was absolutely electric, a cauldron of noise as the October sun set on a balmy day in Lombardy. There was a sense that all could be forgiven regarding Milan’s slow start to league play should the Rossoneri put one over on a Juventus side stranded in unfounded territory following 10 matches — third.
Where Does The Club Name Juventus Come From And What’s Its Significance?
When you hear "Juventus," what do you think? Chances are, you’re thinking about the Turin-based football club that’s won 33 Serie A titles, 12 Coppa Italias and two European titles.
