SPAL 1-6 Roma

Paulo Fonseca’s Roma are in fine form as Serie A heads towards its climax, after cruising to an emphatic 6-1 away victory over SPAL on Wednesday evening.

The Giallorossi have taken 13 points from the last 15 available, with the change in the team’s fortunes traceable to Fonseca’s decision to change the tactical set-up earlier this month.

Portugal international João Cancelo was heavily praised by Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola after starring in a 4-0 win at Watford in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.

Cancelo payed at left-back as goals from Raheem Sterling (2), Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte gave City a comprehensive victory, and the Portuguese was widely regarded as one of the best players in a convincing team performance.

Cristiano Ronaldo took his goal tally in Serie A to 30 goals on Monday evening with a second-half brace as Juventus beat Lazio in Turin to edge closer to defending their title.

Ronaldo’s goals saw him go level with Ciro Immobile, who also scored, in the race for the Capocannoniere award for top marksman in the Italian top flight. It is the first time Ronaldo has reached the 30-goal mark in a league season for four years.

Daniel Podence scored his first goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers as Nuno Espírito Santo’s side beat Crystal Palace to move back into 6^th place ahead of the final day of the season.

João Moutinho was the architect of the former Sporting winger’s first-half opener with a sumptuous pass during the build-up, which ended with Podence defying his small stature by heading Wolves in front in what was a vital win.
