When the
two top teams in Serie A met on Sunday night, it was always going to be a
feisty encounter. That it was settled by a piece of brilliance, rather
than a refereeing howler, was reassuring, but not entirely fitting.
Not
only do these two teams not like each other, but there was also a huge
amount at stake - neither side had dropped a point yet in the league
this season.
But
few could have predicted just how much controversy would be crammed
into this clash, during which referee Gianluca Rocchi awarded three
penalties in the first half and showed two red cards in the closing
stages, nor the source of the stunning winner.
