Juventus wins 10th in a row
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 01 - 2016

New coach Luciano Spalletti failed to inspire AS Roma as it was held 1-1 at home by bottom club Verona on his debut Sunday and titleholder Juventus notched its 10th Serie A win in a row by hammering Udinese 4-0 away.

Paulo Dybala scored twice for Juventus, ruining Udinese's day as the host officially inaugurated its rebuilt, state-of-the-art stadium.

Roma lost patience with previous coach Rudi Garcia, firing him Wednesday after a slump in form which included a 6-1 drubbing by Barcelona and cup elimination at home to second tier Spezia.

But the return of Spalletti, previously in charge from 2005 to 2009, failed to inspire the host against opponent which has not won after 20 league games this season.

Roma, which briefly led the championship in the autumn, went ahead in the 41st minute when Daniele De Rossi backheeled the ball to midfielder Radja Nainggolan, who scored from close range.

But Giampaolo Pazzini leveled with a penalty in the 61st minute after Leandro Castan fouled Pawel Wszolek, to leave Roma fifth in the table.

Roma forward Edin Dzeko's poor form continued when he fired over the crossbar from Miralem Pjanic's pass and also missed the target with a free header in stoppage time
Udinese unveiled its shiny new Dacia stadium, built on the site of the old Friuli stadium but more compact and atmospheric that the old ground.
But Juventus, which has flourished since opening its own stadium in 2011, quickly dampened the festivities as Dybala curled in a free kick after 15 minutes.

Sami Khedira turned in Dybala's pass at the far post for the second, then Mario Mandzukic was upended by Danilo, who was sent off, and Dybala converted the penalty, all before the half hour.

Alex Sandro curled in the fourth before halftime to leave Juventus, aiming for its fifth successive title, two points behind leader Napoli, which beat Sassuolo 3-1 Saturday.

Lazio came from two goals behind to draw 2-2 at Bologna, which raced into the lead with strikes from Emanuele Giaccherini and Mattia Destro in the first 20 minutes.

The game turned when Adam Masina gave away a penalty, was sent off and Antonio Candreva reduced the arrears. Miroslav Klose then won possession to set up the equalizer for Senad Lulic in the 77th minute.

Leonardo Pavoletti scored twice as Genoa thumped Palermo 4-0 in a battle of two teams just outside the relegation zone with Guillermo Barros Schelotto, the Sicilians' third coach of the season, watching from the stands.

Relegation-threatened Carpi shocked Sampdoria 2-1 while Chievo and Empoli shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw.
