Matthijs de Ligt is worth gold for Juventus
Juventus has booked a 3-1 win over Parma in Serie A. Matthijs de Ligt was very important on the side of the Oude Dame.
The 21-year-old defender assisted Alex Sandro’s equalizer (who also scored the 2-1) and scored the home team’s third goal, which is currently third. It was the first time that the Dutchman combined an assist and a goal in a Serie A game.
De Ligt scored for the first time this season in Italy. The former Ajax player needed 29 matches for that. Last season, the blocky defender hit four goals in Serie A. In his two full seasons for Ajax, De Ligt each scored three goals in the Eredivisie.

Expensive defeat of Milan without Zlatan
AC Milan suffered an expensive defeat. The number two of the Serie A lost 2-1 to mid-engine Sassuolo. As a result, the title chances have become a bit smaller for AC Milan, which only has one point more than Juventus. Club top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, good for fifteen goals in seventeen league matches, was missing at AC Milan. The 39-year-old Swede was not fit.
Leader Internazionale also did not get around to a victory. On a visit to Spezia it became 1-1. Diego Farias opened the score. Ivan Perisic saved a point for Inter before half-time, which with six games to go still has ten points more than Milan.
After the break, Inter hunted for 3 points in vain. Lautaro Martínez hit the post with a bet and two hits were disallowed in the final phase for offside. Defender Stefan de Vrij played the entire match with the visitors. Reserve goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet sat on the bench at Spezia.
