Juventus lost 1-0 at Lazio in Serie A on Sunday to pile more pressure on their coach, Igor Tudor. The Bianconeri have not won in any competition since 13 September, when they defeated Inter 4-3, and they went a fourth successive match without scoring a goal as they lost in Rome.
A mistake from the Juventus forward Jonathan David led to Lazio’s goal in the ninth minute. The Canada international was deep in his own half and under no pressure when he headed the ball to the home side’s Danilo Cataldi, who laid it off to Toma Basic to drive into the bottom right corner.
Juventus were fortunate that Weston McKennie was not sent off in the 57th minute after he appeared to push over Mattéo Guendouzi, who was furious. McKennie had been booked three minutes earlier but the USA international avoided getting another yellow card and being sent off. It was Lazio’s first win in nearly a month.
Roma kept pace with Napoli at the top of the table after a 1-0 win at Sassuolo, with Paulo Dybala’s 16th-minute goal on the rebound securing all three points. Bologna let a two-goal lead slip at Fiorentina, who stay winless but battled back for a point through Moise Kean’s late penalty after Emil Holm was sent off for the visitors.
Torino fought back from a goal down at half-time to beat lowly Genoa 2-1 at home, with the defender Guillermo Máripan volleying the late winner from a corner. Verona also stay winless as they drew 2-2 at home against Cagliari, having been 2-0 up with 15 minutes to go.
In Ligue 1, the fourth-placed Lille put six past Metz, with Félix Correia scoring twice. Hamza Igamane, Romain Perraud, Benjamin André and Hákon Haraldsson were also on target in a 6-1 rout that keeps the bottom club stuck on two points.
Nice moved above Rennes in mid-table as Jonathan Clauss’s opportunistic finish proved to be decisive in a 2-1 away win. In two games featuring sides in the relegation picture, Angers defeated Lorient 2-0 at home, while Le Havre won 1-0 at Auxerre.
Bayer Leverkusen secured their fourth successive Bundesliga win with a 2-0 home win against Freiburg. Ernest Poku’s fine finish and a header from Edmond Tapsoba sealed victory for Kasper Hjulmand’s side. Elsewhere, Stuttgart are up to third after fighting back to beat Mainz 2-1 at home, Deniz Undav scoring an 80th-minute winner.
In the Eredivisie, Ismael Saibari hit a hat-trick as PSV edged a top-of-the-table battle with Feyenoord, winning 3-2 to move level with their hosts on 25 points. Ajax are fourth after three goals in seven minutes secured a 3-2 victory at Utrecht.
