Serie A wrap: Juve topple Milan, Udinese cruise

Late goals were the difference in Juventus’ 2-0 victory over AC Milan in their Serie A clash on Sunday, while Udinese won by the same score.

Juve were heading for their third draw in as many league fixtures, before Claudio Marchisio willed the ball into the net after being played through on goal in the 87th minute.

The goal owed a little to Daniel Bonera’s attempted clearance off Marchisio, but it was neat interplay as Juventus piled forward that put Milan’s defence under pressure.

Milan’s Kevin Prince-Boateng was shown a second yellow card two minutes later to heap more misery on Massimiliano Allegri’s men.

Marchisio then added another from range in the second minute of injury time to top off a fine win for the Bianconeri, sending them equal-top with Udinese on 11 points.

Udinese enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 win over Bologna at the Stadio Communale Friuli.

Francesco Guidolin’s side continue to fly high and they were convincing winners at home to the winless Bologna.

Defender Mehdi Benatia broke the deadlock on 29 minutes and evergreen striker Antonio Di Natale struck a second-half penalty in the win.

Elsewhere, Palermo maintained their perfect home record with a 2-0 win over Siena.

Giulio Migliaccio headed home the opener in the first half before Palermo were reduced to 10 men when defender Federico Balzaretti picked up a second yellow card.

Luca Rossettini was sent off for Siena late on, and Abel Hernandez struck a 90th-minute penalty.

Lazio struck late to down hosts Fiorentina 2-1, after being forced to come back from behind to earn a second away win of the season.

Alessio Cerci had given Fiorentina an eighth-minute lead, before Brazilian midfielder Hernanes equalised in the first half.

It was left to German striker Miroslav Klose to head home the winner seven minutes from time.

Meanwhile, Catania and Novara played out a thrilling 3-3 draw.

Centre-back Nicola Legrottaglie and Francesco Lodi struck on either side of Marco Rigoni’s 49th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot to give Catania a 2-1 lead away from home.

But Rigoni set up Japanese striker Takayuki Morimoto to head home an equaliser and Novara were ahead five minutes from time when Jeda netted.

It was not to be the end of the drama, however, as Alejandro Gomez earned Catania a point in the first minute of stoppage time.

Parma have returned to winning ways after soundly beating Genoa 3-1.

Sebastian Giovinco was on the scoresheet twice in the first half and Stefano Morrone made it 3-0 as Parma broke their run of two consecutive losses, despite Argentine Rodrigo Palacio’s consolation penalty late on.

Lecce’s dreadful start to the season continued as they suffered a 2-0 loss to Cagliari, who had Thiago Ribeiro and Davide Biondini net.

Elsewhere, Cesena picked up their first point of the season in a 0-0 draw against Chievo.
