There were two big news stories in Serie A this week.  Both involved Juventus.

Douglas Costa has been banned for four Serie A matches for spitting, elbowing, and attempting to head butt Sassuolo's Federico Franceso in a 2-1 Juventus win on Sunday (Sept. 18).

Before the incident, though, Cristiano Ronaldo finally broke through by scoring his first two goals of the season.

Now to Premier League action.

Eden Hazard got his second ever Chelsea hat-trick on Saturday in a 4-1 win over Cardiff City.
