Matchday 11 of the 2023/24 Serie A season saw the possible title race take on a new complexion with the headline result being AC Milan's 1-0 home defeat against an Udinese side who were yet to win a game this season.

Inter's win came away at Atalanta with another superb goal from Lautaro Martinez.Juventus went away to Fiorentina and whilst they certainly didn't excite the watching fans, they efficiently won 1-0 and they are just two points behind Inter with a lot fewer games to contend with.To chat through all of the Serie A results from Matchday 11, Euan Burns hosts Vito Doria and Kevin Pogorzelski on this weekend’s Italian Football Podcast.
