AC Milan’s Defeat Gives Juventus 11-Point Lead on Serie A Table
Italian Serie A leaders, Juventus claimed a 2-0 victory at AC Milan on Sunday to move 11 points clear of nearest challengers Roma, who were held to a goalless draw at home to Inter Milan 24 hours earlier.
Milan created a raft of chances but were unable to profit and they were made to pay by Fernando Llorente’s goal just before half-time and Carlos Tevez’s superb second-half strike.
Pepe Reina’s own goal also cost Napoli an important win as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Livorno. Napoli were seeking a victory that would have seen them close to within four points of Roma but Reina was at fault as he fumbled the ball into his own net from Ibrahima Mbaye’s tame effort, just seven minutes after Dries Mertens had fired the visitors into a 32nd-minute lead from the penalty spot.
