The Serie A is headed for an exciting finish as Inter Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma slug it out for the Scudetto.

By Vincent Lai

Roma closed the gap on the Nerazzurri and Rossoneri as they defeated Udinese 4-2 at home, with both teams from the San Siro only managing draws this weekend.

Here are the Best XI from the weekend's fixtures in a 4-3-3 formation:

Gianluca Curci - Siena

The keeper made two world-class saves for the relegation-threatened Robur as they edged out Bologa 1-0 for three much-needed points. Adailton and Henry Gimenez will rue their misses as Curci shut them out with his reflexes.

Thiago Silva - AC Milan

The Brazilian centre-back has made strides all season with the Rossoneri, always alert to the situation and always in perfect position to foil Napoli's attempts at the Milan goal. Thiago Silva even showed some deft touches on the ball, and contributed to Milan's attacks as he initiated some of their attacks in the Partenopei half.

Simon Kjaer - Palermo

Kjaer had his hands full over the weekend as he came up against Samuel Eto'o and Diego Milito, fresh off their conquering of Chelsea in the Champions League. Kjaer managed to contain both strikers as the Aquile earned a deserved point against the Serie A league leaders, dominating the Palermo penalty area both in the air and on the grass. No wonder the Premier League is calling.

Walter Samuel - Inter Milan

On the other end of the pitch stood Walter Samuel, a much more established and reputed defender. The Argentine centre-back was solid for the Nerazzurri, tackling Edinson Cavani late in the game to preserve a point for Inter Milan.

Jeremy Menez - AS Roma

Menez has improved his football with every passing month in 2010, and so has the fortunes of the Lupi. Roma trounced Udinese 4-2 on Saturday, with the Frenchman constantly picking the Zebrette's defence apart on the wings.

Tiberio Guarente - Atalanta

The Goddess always has a great game whenever the man from Pisa brings his 'A' game. Guarente had a blast in the middle of the park, disrupting the play of Livorno and adding two assists as Atalanta ran out 3-0 winners on Sunday.

Stevan Jovetic - Fiorentina

Another one to watch for the future besides Kjaer. Jovetic has been a revelation for La Viola this term and the sky's the limit for this teenager. The Serbian youngster is a terror on the flanks and Genoa just could not keep up with his pace and guile, conceding a penalty which sealed a 3-0 victory for Fiorentina.

Massimo Gobbi - Fiorentina

Gobbi stepped up in Fiorentina's game against Genoa, filling the void left by Juan Vargas on the left wing. The workman-like winger set up Santana for La Viola's first goal and the Tuscan side romped to 3-0 trouncing.

Antonio Cassano - Sampdoria

Simply the best player for the Blucerchiati against a slumping Juventus side. Cassano left his impact on the game as he unleashed a long-range screamer that earned Sampdoria all three points this weekend, as well as joint-fourth place in the Serie A table.

Mirko Vucinic - AS Roma

Vucinic often teases the Giallorossi with his quality, only to disappoint when he can't sustain his rich vein of form. That wasn't the case on Sunday as he continued his tear in the Serie A along with the raging Lupi, scoring a hat-trick against a hapless Udinese.

Ronaldinho - AC Milan

The Rossoneri are slumping? 'No problem', says their Brazilian maestro as he puts them on his back for the crucial stretch of a trying season for Milan. 'Dinho supplied Filippo Inzaghi for Milan's equaliser after the home side went behind, putting in a crisp cross. He also danced around Napoli's defenders, often threading the needle to find team-mates in scoring positions. Too bad they could not find another goal, as the Rossoneri could only draw against the Partenopei.
