Parma began 2009 with another point to add to their tally, though missed a chance to go top after the Crociati squandered many chances in the first half.

Substitute Reginaldo scored Parma’s goal in the second half but the lead was shortlived as the home side equalised moments later through Alessandro Sgrigna.

Parma’s match-winner against Cittadella, Alberto Paloschi, told the official site about how tireless midfielder Stefano Morrone had predicted he’d score in the match.

He also spoke of just how delighted he was to finally end his goal drought, and confirmed his desire to stay at the Ennio Tardini past the January transfer window.

Parma put last week’s disappointment at Pisa behind them on Saturday with a narrow victory over Cittadella at the Ennio Tardini.

Promising youngster Alberto Paloschi scored the vital goal in the second half after some good team-play down the left from Parma. However, Giulio Falcone was sent off in the first half for Crociati.
