The Serie A  title race continues to fascinate, but this was the weekend where the champions made their mark on the campaign, with a massive table-topping win. 

Down at the bottom, there are still four winless sides, but there are signs from each that it won't be long before they are off the mark. 

But the question is who made our  Serie A team of the week for matchday eight? Ash Rose has been selecting his stars of the round. 

Serie A TOTW8 V2

Arijanet Muric (Sassuolo) 

The former Ipswich and Burnley stopper could do nothing about Paulo Dybala's winner, but kept Sassuolo in the game before the Argentine's clincher. 

His string of saves were solid if not spectacular, but were enough to almost grab a point for his team. 

Zachary Athekame (Milan) 

The young Swiss defender chose the perfect moment to score his first goal for the club, as he prevented a shock defeat for Milan. 

Athekame came off the bench to score a 93rd-minute equaliser for the Rossoneri in their 2-2 draw with Pisa. 

Guillermo Maripan (Torino) 

Torino backed up their win over Napoli last weekend by coming from behind to beat Genoa. 

In the end, they had centre-back Maripan to thank for a solid display at the back and then grabbing the last-minute winner. 

Wesley (Roma) 

Another roaming and rampant performance from the Brazilian, and another clean sheet in Roma's 1-0 win over Sassuolo. 

Wesley was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet in the first half and provided a constant outlet. 

Leonardo Spinazzola (Napoli) 

Played a key role in Napoli's impressive second-half performance as they got the better of Inter in the battle between last season's top two. 

Setting up Scott McTominay for the second goal as the champions claimed a 3-1 victory.

Frank Anguissa (Napoli) 

Quietly going about being one of the best players in Serie A season and that's saying something considering he's flanked by McTominay and De Bruyne. 

It was the midfielder who netted Napoli's crucial third goal, which topped off a dominating all round performance from the former Fulham man. 

Luka Modric (Milan)

Another classy display from the Croatian, whose impact since joining Milan in the summer can't be underestimated. 

While all were starting to panic in the closing stages against Pisa, it was Modric whose calm and assured presence helped the Rossoneri salvage a point. 

Arthur Atta (Udinese)

Naturally a defensive midfielder, it was the attacking side of his game that saw Atta star in Udinese's win over Lecce. 

The Frenchman set up two goals in the 3-2 victory to ensure his side got over the line.

Paulo Dybala (Roma) 

Deployed in the false nine role by boss Gian Piero Gasperini, Dybala made sure the tactical tweak worked for Roma as they got back on track with a win at Sassuolo. 

The Argentine was on hand to score the only goal of the game to send his side level on points at the top of the table. 

Moise Kean (Fiorentina) 

Kean has taken his time to get going this season, much like Fiorentina, but there were signs that both were finally finding some form against Bologna. 

The striker put in his best performance of the season so far, and came up trumps for his team with a 94th-minute equaliser in the 2-2 draw. 

Gustav Isaksen (Lazio) 

The Dane was a constant menace in Juventus' side as they piled on the pressure for Igor Tudor in Lazio's 1-0 win.

His ability to draw fouls gave his team an ideal way to halt play and get at The Old Lady.
