A late Udinese winner forced Juventus
to put off celebrations for their ninth straight scudetto on
Thursday night.
Seko Fofana clinched the game 2-1 for the struggling Friulani
after Matthijs De Ligt opened the scoring for the Bianconeri and
Ilija Nestorovski equalised.
Juve are still six points ahead of Atalanta, seven above Inter
and eight in front of Lazio, which beat Cagliari 2-1 Thursday
night to clinch at least the fourth and last Champions League
slot.
The Turin giants only need three points from their last three
games to lift their 36th Serie A title.
As for Lazio, the Cagliari win was a welcome return to winning
ways after a five-match winless spell that dropped them from one
point behind Juve to well off the scudetto pace.
Giovanni Simeone opened the scoring for the Sardinians before
Sergei Milinkovic-Savic brought the Biancocelesti level, and
Ciro Immobile scored the winner.
Immobile moved one ahead of Juve's Portugal great Cristiano
Ronaldo in the marksman's standings, with 31 goals to Ronaldo's
30.
