Former Arsenal striker Gervinho was the star player in Serie A this weekend in a matchday that saw his side beat Genoa 2-1.

Up front Napoli duo Lorenzo Insigne (7.6) and Dries Mertens (7.6) were on hand to represent an outstanding 4-0 victory over Roma, which both players played a hand in by scoring two goals and assisting a third between them. They join Duvan Zapata (7.5) of Atalanta, who put on an impressive display despite his side’s 2-0 defeat to Verona.
In midfield, Gervinho is joined by fellow Parma midfielder Juraj Kucka (8.4) due to his assist for one of the Ivorian’s two goals, along with Mattia Zaccagni (8.2) following his goal in Verona’s aforementioned victory over Atalanta.
