Serie A: Juventus 2 Fiorentina 1

Juventus moved back to the top of the Serie A table with an impressive 2-1 win over rivals Fiorentina in Turin on Tuesday.

Goals from Leonardo Bonucci and Alessandro Matri either side of a Stevan Jovetic equaliser fired Juve to their first win in three matches.

The victory sends Antonio Conte’s men one point clear of Udinese at the league summit, albeit temporarily, while maintaining their unbeaten start to the season.

The hosts were in absolute control in hte early stages and after several good chances, they took the lead in the 13th minute.

Andrea Pirlo chopped a corner back towards Arturo Vidal, who swept a first-time short towards goal from 15 yards.

Boruc blocked the effort but failed to hold onto the ball, and Bonucci demonstrated the type of poaching instincts associated with a striker by following up to force home the rebound.

The visitors were finding it impossible to stem the tide, and Boruc was forced into action on four further occasions, twice denying Vucinic before making impressive stops to thwart Pepe and Matri.

Fiorentina came out a different side after the break, and after 10 minutes of concerted pressure, they had their equaliser.

A rapid raid saw half-time substitute Alberto Gilardino roll the ball to Vargas, who flicked into Jovetic’s path.

The Montenegrin did the rest, curling a sumptuous effort into Storari’s top-left hand corner to restore parity.

The lead did not last long, though, as Juventus quickly edged back in front just eight minutes later.

And Matri was the hero, slamming home from eight yards after Pepe had shown tremendous vision to prod the ball into his path through a gap in the Fiorentina defence.

Juventus return to action on Saturday with a monumental Derby d’Italia clash against Inter at Giuseppe Meazza. Fiorentina, meanwhile, host Genoa on Sunday afternoon.
