Juventus crumbled 3-0 at home to Lazio, who stay joint top of the table thanks to goals from Denmark internationals Oliver Provstgaard and Gustav Isaksen in Turin, plus Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s cherry on top.
The Bianconeri were flying high in the Europa League after Thursday’s 2-1 comeback victory away to Celta Vigo, but still stuttering with one win in the previous four Serie A rounds. Kenan Yildiz, Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Jeff Ekhator and Kamil Grabara were still out, with Jeremie Boga back on the bench. Luciano Spalletti sat out a touchline ban following his altercation with Cagliari coach Fabio Pisacane, so assistant Marco Domenichini was on the bench.
The Aquile needed a win to stay joint leaders with Inter, but Albert Gudmundsson, Matteo Cancellieri, Nicolò Rovella, Alessio Furlanetto and Adam Marusic missed out.
See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog.
Randal Kolo Muani had the ball in the net on 24 minutes, but only after wandering into an offside position on the Nico Gonzalez flick, then just failed to get on the end of the Argentina international’s free kick at the back post.
Nico Gonzalez was furious that no free kick was given when we went down on the edge of the area, but he crossed paths with Kenneth Taylor accidentally and they connected.
Gustav Isaksen saw his curler deflected wide and on the resulting corner Lazio took the lead. It was taken short for the Mattia Zaccagni cross, finding the Oliver Provstgaard glancing header from six yards between Gleison Bremer and Jhon Lucumi.
Lazio nearly got a second in odd circumstances, as the Nuno Tavares cross took a big deflection off Bremer to loop up and bounce off the top of the crossbar.
Nick Woltemade replaced the ineffective Kerim Alajbegovic for the restart, moving Juve to a 4-4-2 formation, and it nearly paid off when Kolo Muani rolled across from the left for the substitute to prod wide of the near post.
Another Kolo Muani assist found Nico Gonzalez for an angled drive off target, while Pierre Kalulu deflected a Nuno Tavares screamer for a corner.
Lazio doubled their lead when Isaksen controlled the Nuno Tavares cross-field pass and made the most of a Romano Floriani Mussolini run that drew away Zeki Celik, cutting inside to bend the left-foot finish into the far bottom corner.
Bosko Sutalo did well to prevent a Pierre Kalulu cross reaching Woltemade, then Kolo Muani nodded over as Woltemade managed to squeeze a cross in from the by-line.
The Francisco Conceicao curler was too predictable to trouble Christos Mandas, as Lazio came away with their first Serie A victory in Turin since October 2017.
Juve never really seemed like getting back into this, and substitute Dele-Bashiru sealed it with a run from inside his own half to drill past Guglielmo Vicario with an angled drive. This is a result that suggests Lazio are no fluke this season.
