Goal.com looks at the star performers from the latest round of action from the Italian top flight
Juventus extended their lead at the top of Serie A once more at the weekend as their understrength first XI put Udinese to the sword, and it was their standout midfield star who grabbed most of the headlines in the peninsula. Paul Pogba may have gained the plaudits, but there are 10 more players who deserve a mention for making it into the latest Goal.com Team of the Week.

Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto did a good job of showing up opposite number Morgan De Sanctis as the Viola drew with Napoli. A couple of excellent saves helped to preserve the home side's point and also ensured that the Brazilian remains ahead of Emiliano Viviano in the pecking order at the Franchi.
It might not have been the most memorable afternoon for poor Michele Canini, as his own goal put Atalanta behind against his former club Cagliari, but team-mate Guglielmo Stendardo capped off a great personal performance with a second-half equaliser to let his colleague off the hook. On the other side of the pitch, Davide Astori was excelling, earning him a call-up too. Ignazio Abate rounds off our back line after his great effort down the right for Milan kept Bologna out and also helped M'Baye Niang to cause the visitors a problem or two.
Paul Pogba was indeed the star of the weekend with two goals and a masterful shift at the base of midfield for Juve against Udinese, but Alessio Cerci also inspired his side to three points. The winger set up one and scored the other as Torino won in Pescara. Mariano Izco showed fantastic vision to send in Pablo Barrientos for the game-clinching second goal in Catania's away-day win against Genoa. Fredy Guarin's latest excellent performance sees him earn a mention for the second week running, with his assist for Rodrigo Palacio ensuring Inter a point from the clash with Roma.
Mirko Vucinic added to Pogba's double with a goal and a fine display for the Old Lady, and Paulo Dybala made a superb impact on struggling Palermo as they came within five minutes of defeating high-flying Lazio. And finally, Giampaolo Pazzini is in our XI for the second time of the season, and again the recognition comes for a multi-goal display against Bologna. This time though, it included a 'Pele-esque' finish that has everyone talking.
