Juventus bounce back after Tudor sacking as Roma and Inter keep pace with Napoli

Juventus snapped an eight-match win-lessstreak with Wednesday's 3-1 success over Udinese with Luciano Spalletti ready to replace the sacked Igor Tudor, as Roma and Inter Milan stayed on Serie A leaders Napoli’s tails.

Federico Gatti thumped home a powerful header in the 67th minute before Kenan Yildiz slotted in a late penalty in Turin to give Juve a first win in any competition since mid-September and move them to seventh spot on |5 points, six behind leading pair Napoli and Roma who beat Parma 9-1.

Gatti and Yildiz saved Juve’s blushes after another disjointed performance, this time under “Next Gen” under-23 coach Massimo Brambilla who has stepped in until Tudor’s permanent replacement in the dugout is confirmed.

Juve were level at I-| heading into the final third of a match played at a soaking Allianz Stadium after Nicolo Zaniolo stroked home his third goal of the season in the dying seconds of the first half, cancelling out Dusan Viahovic’s early penalty.

“ve only been here with the first team a couple of days, on Monday morning | was in training with the under-23s and then in the afternoon| was with the first team,” said Brambilla to broadcaster DAZN.
