Juventus loses the most sensible position after the draw against Genoa

Massimiliano Allegri’s Juve have closed the gap to Inter to one point but can drop just four points when the league leaders travel to Lazio on Sunday.

“When you have to kill the opponent, you have to do it, when you have opportunities, you have to score,” Allegri told DAZN after his team extended their unbeaten run to 11 games.

“This is a point, let’s continue this positive momentum. “

Juventus got off to a good start and Federico Chiesa squandered a great chance midway through the first half by firing in from close range.

But the Italy international was given the chance to make amends just five minutes later from the penalty spot after a foul by goalkeeper Josep Martinez and Chiesa made no mistake.

Juventus got caught less than 3 minutes into the second half when Icelandic striker Gudmundsson chested in and volleyed in from seven yards after a move through Genoa.

The visitors struggled to break down their warring sides but saw a golden opportunity to take the 3 points from first to front in the 89th minute.

A corner found its way to Bremer, but the Brazilian centre-back could only divert the ball towards goal with his knee and Martinez made an excellent save to tip the ball over the bar.

Genoa held on for one point that took them four points off the relegation zone and into 14th place.

On Saturday, long-suffering champion Napoli hosts Cagliari.
