Juve beat Lazio to top Serie A standings for one night

Lazio on Saturday night succeeded in holding out for more than an hour with 10 men before an own goal by defender Mario Gila led to a defeat. Defender Alessio Romagnoli was issued a red card in the 24th for tackling Juve's Pierre Kalulu when he was clear on goal. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Juventus obtained their winning goal when Gila attempted to intercept a cross from Juan Cabal and turned it into his own net. The Bianconeri returned at the top of the Serie A table for a night, reaching Napoli as the side is playing against Empoli on Sunday while Inter will face Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. Milan also suffered before beating Udinese 1-0 at home on Saturday night. The Rossoneri moved level on points with third-placed Inter Milan. Source: Ansa News Agency
