Juventus lost 1-0 at Lazio in Serie A on Sunday to pile more pressure on their coach, Igor Tudor. The Bianconeri have not won in any competition since 13 September, when they beat Inter 4-3, and they went a fourth straight match without scoring a goal as they lost in Rome.
A mistake from the Juventus forward Jonathan David led to Lazioâ€s goal in the ninth minute. The Canada international was deep in his own half and — under no pressure — when he headed the ball to the home sideâ€s Danilo Cataldi, who laid it off to Toma Basic to drive into the bottom right corner.
Juventus were fortunate that Weston McKennie was not sent off in the 57th minute after he appeared to push over Mattéo Guendouzi, who was furious. McKennie had been booked three minutes earlier but the United States international avoided getting another yellow card and being sent off. It was Lazioâ€s first win in nearly a month.
Romakept pace with Napoli at the top of the table after a 1-0 win at Sassuolo, with Paulo Dybalaâ€s 16th-minute goal on the rebound earning all three points. Bolognalet a two-goal lead slip at Fiorentina, who stay winless but battled back for a point through Moise Keanâ€s late penalty after Emil Holm was sent off for the visitors.
