Juve beats Palermo to share lead at the top

JUVENTUS took advantage of Palermo's poor away form to beat the Sicilians 3-0 on Sunday and join Lazio at the top of Serie A.

Simone Pepe headed Juventus in front in the first half before Alessandro Matri and Claudio Marchisio each scored their fifth goal of the season to keep Juventus unbeaten after its first 10 games of the season.

Sixth-placed Palermo has a 100 percent home record but has taken only one point in six away games and has yet to score on the road.

Antonio Conte's team went level on 22 points with Lazio, which has played a game more and drew 0-0 at Napoli on Saturday. Juventus visits Lazio next Sunday.

Udinese missed a chance to go top when it lost 0-2 at Parma, a result which kept it level on 21 points with defending champion AC Milan which drew 0-0 at Fiorentina on Saturday.

AS Roma went into fifth place with 17 points after a 2-1 win over Lecce in the late game, Miralem Pjanic and Fernando Gago scoring before Andrea Bertolacci pulled one back for the visitors.

Argentine forward German Denis scored twice for Atalanta in a 2-2 draw at Siena, leaving him as league topscorer with nine goals.
