Rome:<\/strong> Juventus regained the top spot in the Italian Serie A after they beat Palermo 2-0 while AC Milan lost to Fiorentina 1-2 at home to slip to second place.<\/p>\nLeonardo Bonucci and Fabio Quagliarella found the net for Juventus in the second half of a one-sided game Saturday. The win put Juve one point clear of Milan in a two-horse race for the Scudetto which looks likely to go down to the wire.<\/p>\n
“I always prefer to lead because that way you depend on nobody except yourself,” Juventus coach Antonio Conte was quoted as saying by Xinhua.<\/p>\n
“We did well to take advantage of Milan’s two recent slip-ups. There are still seven rounds to go and we have a tougher fixture list, but we also gained belief and are improving day after day,” he added.<\/p>\n
Carvalho Amauri scored an 89th-minute winner as Fiorentina recorded a shock 2-1 win over AC Milan.<\/p>\n
Amauri fired home from outside the box to secure three much-needed points for Delio Rossi’s side whose unexpected victory lifted them five points clear of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
Milan had taken the lead, going ahead through Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s penalty, only to be pegged back by Stefan Jovetic before Amauri’s winner.<\/p>\n
AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri blamed his side’s tiredness for the loss.<\/p>\n
“It was an unexpected defeat and a complicated game thanks to Fiorentina. We felt tired, but once we had taken the lead the equalizer came far too quickly,” he said.<\/p>\n
“There was too much haste in trying to win the game, so we went for long balls when I was asking for short passes. It’s a shame that we lost, because now Juve have the chance to go in front, although there are still seven games to go,” he said.<\/p>\n
Inter Milan twice came from behind to force a 2-2 draw against mid-table Cagliari which kept the Nerazzurri in the hunt to salvage Europa League qualification from a miserable campaign.<\/p>\n
Lazio moved back into third place and in line for the final Champions League qualification spot with a 3-1 victory over Napoli.<\/p>\n
