Milan V Sampdoria


Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Clarence Seedorf certaintly turned that myth on its head when he scored the opener on the 20th minute. And what a goal it was, it was almost as if Andrea Pirlo was playing through him..... Pirlo had been teaching Seedorf some tricks since he was out through injury and it clearly paid off!


I was hoping that this would be a goal feast, and I have to admit I was slightly let down by Samp as they had a measly 23% possession with only 4 shot and only one on target. Samp have clearly be unable to fill the hole left by Antonio Cassano and Giampiero Pazzini. The two have departed to the 2 Milan clubs, with Cassano going to the red half while Pazzini went to the blue half. Sampdoria are currently third from bottom and fighting for survival, while the Rosoneri are enjoying the view from the top and have a 6 point lead from nearest rivals Napoli.


But this was a win that came with a heavy cost, as Alex Pato limped off with a hamstring injury. With Pato injured and Ibrahimovich still serving a suspension for " swearing" at the official, it will certainly be an entertaining end to an unpredictable season.
