Juventus Down Lazio In Sixth Straight Serie A Win, Mourinho Sent Off In Roma Stalemate

Juventus continued their great run of form as they climbed into the top 3 of the Serie A with a convincing 3-0 victory over Lazio at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night.

This was their last game of the calendar year as the league goes on a break for the FIFA World Cup with action set to resume on January 4 with an away match at Cremonense.

The win was their sixth straight league win and they have not conceded a goal in any of those games, bringing them to a total of 31 points from 15 games.

A goal either side of half-time from Moise Kean and a late third from Arkadiusz Milik secured the victory to ensure Massimiliano Allegri's side go into the break on a high.

Kean opened the scoring in the 43rd minute when he raced onto Adrien Rabiot's pass and lobbed Ivan Provedel as the Lazio keeper charged out of his area.

The second came via a simple tap-in after Filip Kostic's shot was pushed out by Provdel and Federico Chiesa crossed for Milik to complete the scoring in the 90th minute.

The loss halted a two-game winning streak for Lazio as they dropped down into 4th place with 30 points.

Elsewhere, manager Jose Mourinho was sent off before his Roma side salvaged a 1-1 draw at home to Torino thanks to Nemanja Matic's 94th-minute strike in an action-packed finale at the Stadio Olimpico.

Karol Linetty put Torino ahead early in the 55th minute and, after Mourinho was shown a red card in the 89th minute following an outburst at the officials.

Andrea Belotti hit the post with a stoppage-time penalty but there was still time for substitute Matic to snatch a point for Roma.

There was also late drama at the San Siro where AC Milan beat Fiorentina 2-1 courtesy of a 91st-minute own goal from Nikola Milenkovic to move up to second in the standings.

Rafael Leao had put the hosts ahead in the second minute but the visitors levelled through Antonin Barak in the 28th before Milan's late winner.
