VERONA- Four goals, two cross-bars, two expullsions and one heavy yellow card for Emanuele Filippini. There was no lack of emotion today at 'Bentegodi' Stadium in Verona; emotion that earned Parma an important 4-0 victory over Del Neri's Chievo side.
Thanks to goals by Adrian Mutu, Hidetoshi Nakata, Sabri Lamouchi and Alberto Gilardino; Cesare Prandelli's side left Chievo with their third away win of the Campionato. Having only defeated Perugia and Torino outside the confines of Tardini Stadium, this victory carries even more importance. Three golden points from a team that have only lost twice at home; against Juventus and Brescia and that up until now have never lost to Parma.
Adrian Mutu was joy and pain for Prandelli in this sixth match of the second-leg of the Campionato. In the 6' of play he gave his side the advantage, scoring off a free-kick. Then in the second half Nakata, Lamouchi and Gilardino secured the result.
For Mutu, who was expelled for two yellow cards, his goal today at Bentegodi turned out to be somewhat historic: it was the Romanian's thirteenth goal in the scoring race, a personal best. Mutu finished last season wearing the Verona jersey with twelve goals.
Perhaps the only negative note for Parma this afternoon was the abundance of yellow cards. Emanuele Filippini will have to sit the next match having been carded in two consecutive games. Mutu will join him on the bench for next weekend's confrontation at home against Lazio after having been expelled from the pitch today.
