Juve squeeze past Lecce

Troubled Juve travelled to Italy's deep south with rumours of a change of manager following their early exit from the Champions League. But Fagioli gave his team their third straight league win with his first ever Serie A goal in the 73rd minute of a largely uneventful contest. The 21-year-old collected a pass from fellow substitute Samuel Iling-Junior before unleashing an unsaveable curling strike which left him on the verge of tears.
Missing 10 first team players, including their leading scorer Dusan Vlahovic, Juve were up against it before kick off at the Stadio Via del Mare but the win moves them into sixth spot, 10 points behind Napoli but one above Udinese and fierce rivals Inter Milan. Inter finish off Saturday's action when they host Sampdoria at a packed San Siro still celebrating passage to the last 16 of the Champions League with a game to spare.
Samp sit 18th and will drop Lecce into the relegation zone if they pull off a shock win. Marco Baroni's Lecce have not been embarrassed by anyone since being promoted to the top flight last season, and they almost levelled with a minute remaining when Morten Hjulmand's low drive hit the post. But Fagioli's strike was just enough to give under-fire Allegri some breathing room before the visit of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
