MARK Bresciano is facing a ban after seeing red just three minutes into the second half of Palermo's victory over Chievo.
Two yellow cards saw the referee send Bresc for an early shower but despite having to fight on with 10 men, Palermo managed to keep their own goal in tact.
They were helped by the fact that Bresciano's dismissal came with the team already leading 3-0, courtesy of a Fabrizio Miccoli penalty and goals from Simon Kjaer and Edison Cavani.
Another Italian-based Aussie is celebrating life at the top of the table but currently out of the first team picture.
Zelko Kalac's AC Milan are top of the tree after a late own goal gifted them a 1-0 victory at home to Napoli on Sunday night and sent them top of Serie A.
Denis headed Ronaldinho's free-kick into his own net with three minutes remaining - and just two minutes after Kaka had seen his penalty saved by Gennaro Iezzo.
It was a bitter pill to swallow for Napoli who had looked like holding on for a point despite playing the entire second half with 10 men after the 44th-minute sending off of Cristian Maggio.
After losing their opening two games of the season, Milan have now won their last four - and conceded just one goal in their last six - to lead the standings by a point.
