Lazio's two wins in a row open the title
race
Juventus's lead at the top of Serie A was cut to three points
after a Diego Simeone header gave second-placed Lazio a 1-0 win in the
top-of-the-table clash in Turin on Saturday.
The second consecutive defeat for Juventus, and their first at home this season,
means the title race with Lazio could go down to the wire with only seven games
left.
A scrappy game was determined within the space of one minute in the second half
when Juventus had defender Ciro Ferrara sent off, and then moments later Simeone
lost his marker to head in a Juan Veron cross in the 67th minute.
Juventus almost grabbed an injury time equaliser but Alessandro Del Piero's
well-struck free kick was tipped wide by Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta.
