First face-to-face meeting between the refereeing world and that of the Serie A clubs

Juventus released a stern statement condemning sections of their support who disrupted a minute of silence honouring Italian football icon Sandro Mazzola ahead of Sunday's 2-0 win over Atalanta. The pre-match tribute was marred when fans in the Curva Sud turned away and chanted, prompting swift rebukes from both the club and opposing manager Maurizio Sarri.

Maurizio Sarri has launched a sensational attack on the use of VAR in Serie A, suggesting the technology should be scrapped entirely following a controversial afternoon in Turin. The Atalanta boss was left fuming after his side were denied a penalty during their 2-0 defeat to Juventus, marking a third consecutive loss for the Bergamo outfit.

Arsenal could be set for a significant departure in the January transfer window as Noni Madueke attracts serious interest from two of Europe's heavyweights. The former Chelsea man has found opportunities hard to come by in North London this season, leading to speculation that his time at the Emirates Stadium could be reaching an early crossroads.
