Krasic to Juventus' rescue

JUVENTUS moved second and level on points with Lazio in Italy's Serie A league after Milos Krasic's effort from a narrow angle went in off goalkeeper Fernando Muslera deep into stoppage time for a 2-1 win for the Turin side.

Juventus took an early lead when Giorgio Chiellini headed in a corner but Lazio, which beat champion Inter Milan last time, soon levelled through Mauro Zarate after another corner.

"This is a big step forward," Chiellini, whose coach Luigi Del Neri played for veteran Lazio boss Edy Reja way back in 1984 with Gorizia, told Sky. "We know how to suffer and then strike. To score right at the end was great."

Sixth-placed AS Roma is 10 points behind AC Milan after a 1-0 win over rock-bottom Bari where Francesco Totti missed a penalty before his chip set up a slightly offside Juan to score.

Sampdoria, who will find out at a hearing late on Monday if banished striker Antonio Cassano can be sacked, missed the chance to keep pace with Roma when new Brescia coach Mario Beretta oversaw a 1-0 success for the strugglers against Samp.

Fellow promoted side Lecce also picked up a 3-2 victory over Chievo but stayed third-from-bottom while Nene netted a hat-trick in Cagliari's 3-0 win over nine-man Catania.
