Match

Salernitana run riot against Monopoli

4‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad

3 goals for Facundo Lescano

The match ball belongs to Facundo Lescano, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Boardroom

Samuele Mancini signs for Padova while still at Salernitana

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Samuele Mancini has agreed terms with Padova for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Matteo Lovato in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Salernitana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Facundo Lescano at his very best

Marked 9.47. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Salernitana.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Jeremy Agbonifo

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Jeremy Agbonifo was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.68. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

Giovanni Vaglica gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Roberto Inglese falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

In brief
