Juventus close in on Serie A title
21 April 2014 5:25 AM IST
Juvenuts beat relegation-threatened Bologna 1-0 at home to edge closer to a third successive Italian Serie A title. Paul Pogba’s 64th-minute goal Saturday was enough to give Antonio Conte’s side their 17th home win in a row. With four games to go this season, Juve also still have the chance of breaking the 100-point barrier, having moved to 90 with this win.
Second-placed Roma reduced the gap to Juventus back down to eight points by picking up their eighth straight league win with a 1-0 victory against Fiorentina. Rudi Garcia’s charges still have a small chance of picking up their first Scudetto since 2001 thanks to Radja Nainggolan goal midway through the first half at Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Inter took a huge step towards ensuring their place in the UEFA Europa League with a 2-0 win at Parma. AC Milan are now level with sixth-placed Parma following their fifth straight Serie A win, a 3-0 triumph over Livorno. Mario Balotelli opened the scoring and Adel Taarabt and Giampaolo Pazzini scored in the second half to secure the win.
