LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato TEAM RATINGS Nov 22, 2014 Lazio 22 F. Marchetti - Made a couple of very smart reflex stops to ensure that the scoreline stayed at a respectable level. 8 D. Basta - Always keen to break forward and support the attack, but struggled with the defensive side of things. 3 S. de Vrij - Threw himself into some great sliding tackles to stop a breaking Tevez in his tracks. 27 L. Cana - Made one good block but was for the most part well covered by his partner De Vrij. 5 E. Braafheid - Combative and physical when off the ball, the Dutchman didn't permit Lichtsteiner to overlap too often. 16 M. Parolo - Worked hard to press and harry but did little in terms of quality when actually on the ball. 20 L. Biglia - Broke up play and wasn't afraid to get stuck in. Whipped in a couple of reasonable set pieces. 19 S. Lulić - Hard-working and aggressive in the centre of midfield, the Bosnia international led by example and pressed well. 87 A. Candreva - The main driving force behind Lazio's attacks. The Italy international stung Buffon's palms with a number of efforts. 11 M. Klose - Looked bright and opportunistic early on, but quickly faded from the game and became anonymous. 14 B. Keita - The young winger had a fairly quiet game and was outmuscled for the most part. Substitutes 7 Felipe Anderson - Provided plenty of intensity and driving runs from deep areas in midfield. 9 F. Đorđević - Tried to battle as a lone striker, but didn't have a real effect on the game. Juventus 1 G. Buffon - Made a couple of good saves in the second half, after being called into action sparingly before the interval. 26 S. Lichtsteiner - Worked incredibly hard to track back but also to support the attack when required. A more withdrawn role than usual, but was solid. 19 L. Bonucci - Won his headers and imposed himself physically throughout the contest. 3 G. Chiellini - The Italy international was strong at the heart of the Juve defence, hacking away clearances and dealing with corner deliveries well. 20 S. Padoin - Battled well and remained attentive to his defensive duties, but picked up a late red card for two yellow card offenses. 21 A. Pirlo - Economical in possession but wasn't afraid to try incisive passes to get the visitors' attacks on the move. 8 C. Marchisio - Calm on the ball and worked hard off of it. Quickly becoming a real unsung hero in the Juve midfield. 6 PAUL POGBA - Netted two goals which helped the Bianconeri to victory, as well as displaying constant creativity and inspiration. 37 R. Pereyra - A bright and creative influence in the final third, laying passes on for teammates with clever balls and flicks. 10 C. Tévez - A thorn in Lazio's side all evening, with his determination and driving runs leading to plenty of opportunities. Converted with a lovely finish. 14 Llorente - Battled aerially and was a clear focal point for Allegri's men, giving them a secondary plan of attack if required. Substitutes 38 F. Mattiello - Worked hard in midfield and was unfortunate to see a half volley saved brilliantly by Marchetti. 9 Álvaro Morata - A fairly quiet performance from the Spain international, who didn't carve out any chances for himself. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Klose Tips Pogba For Future Ballon D’Or Nov 22, 2014 Following his side’s 3–0 loss to Juventus, Lazio striker Miroslav Klose has offered words of praise to Juventus’ Paul Pogba. The French midfielder put a particularly dazzling display, being decisive in helping his team take the three points and move back at the top of the Serie A table. Klose spoke after the match, considering the Frenchman to already be a great player today but also tipping him for much greater things in years to come. “Pogba is a great player and tonight we all saw that,” Klose said to Calciomercato.it. “He is still young of course and can improve even more. “I think that sooner or later, he will win the Ballon d’Or.” Pogba scored two goals against Lazio on Saturday’s evening Serie A match, bringing his personal tally to three goals in 10 games so far this season. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Juventus 3 - Lazio 0: Initial reaction and random observations Nov 22, 2014 So something tells me this four-man defense is working well. Let's check and see if this hunch is actually the truth... We were wondering how Juventus was going to come out of the international break in the lead up to their first game in two weeks. I think it's safe to say we got our answer in pretty emphatic fashion, as Juve recorded a super impressive 3-0 win over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Paul Pogba did classic and amazing Paul Pogba things, scoring a brace with two lovely goals. Carlos Tévez continued what he called the form of his life with his ninth Serie A goal of the season. And Juventus, which looked so incredibly average when they let in a stoppage-time goal against Genoa back in the final game of October, has now found new life with Max Allegri's switch to a four-man defense. Yeah, I'd say things are going pretty well. JuventusFC ✔ @juventusfcen .@OfficialAllegri: "It was important to get straight back into our stride following Roma’s win. It was a tough game at a difficult venue.” You compare the Juventus we saw against Genoa to the one we saw against Lazio on Saturday night — two games separated by a little less than a months time — and it's night and day. That Juventus seemed to be lacking any kind of spark that was needed to get past even the most ordinary of teams. This Juventus is just a completely different animal, one that creates chances, puts them away, and just dominates the opposition. No messing around. Just all systems go on their way to three points. Seriously, this team just looks reborn in such a short period of time. Amazing what a little much-needed tweaking and a kick in the backside can do to wake things up. Oh, and one more thing... BWRAO @JuventusNation RIP 3-5-2 for life. As some like to say, "Onward and upward." That's certainly Juventus' trajectory these days. Random thoughts and observations Seriously, how good is Paul Pogba? I mean, really, both of his goals were simply class. Like the whole team, he's really come alive with the switch in formations, scoring three goals in his last three games and has just been the Pogba we're used to seeing. And guess what? He's locked up with a shiny new contract until 2019. I love being able to type that. So you're up 2-0 and you bring on Álvaro Morata for a so-so Fernando Llorente as your first sub of the game. That is Max Allegri putting his full foot on the gas and not settling for a two-goal lead. If you're Allegri, is it a no-brainer that you bring Arturo Vidal back into the starting lineup against Malmö on Wednesday night? I ask this because Roberto Pereyra has been really, really good in this 4-3-2-1/4-3-1-2 setup Juventus has used lately. And that assist on Pogba's second goal, oh man that was pretty. Silky smooth. That was one of the more interesting shutouts for Gigi Buffon I've seen as of late. He coughed up a couple of Lazio shots, and then made one heck of a save toward the end of the game after Juve went down to 10 men. Andrea Pirlo attempted 60 passes against Lazio. He misplaced three of them. Welcome back, maestro. This was a game where the brilliance of Claudio Marchisio was in full effect. He snatches the ball and then starts the counter that leads to Tévez's goal to make it 2-0. Oh, and he got the assist on the goal, too, which was pretty nice in its own right. You can't send him to the bench these days. He's just playing so well, and so consistent. Stephan Lichtsteiner recorded a game-high six tackles. I think he likes playing against his former club. Somebody get a sideline cam on Marco Storari all the time, please. https://twitter.com/ADP1113/status/536267068744540160 Juventus is still undefeated when Simone Padoin is in the starting lineup. Juuuuuust throwing it out there. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Allegri: Winning Was Important For Juventus After Roma Result Nov 22, 2014 Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri believes the Bianconeri needed to win in order to maintain their three point advantage over Roma after defeating Lazio 3-0 on Saturday night. A brace from Paul Pogba and a goal from Carlos Tevez helped the Bianconeri stroll to an easy victory, a result Allegri believes was key after Roma’s 2-1 victory over Atalanta earlier in the day. “It was important to win especially in order to respond to Roma. To win tonight we needed that type of performance,” he told Mediaset Premium after the match. “The players did very well, we could have scored the second goal in the first half but we did well in the defensive phase as well. “Morata or Llorente? It depends on the match. Llorente did well in defending the ball tonight. It’s normal that by playing with three strikers there are no points of reference but we need time for that. “I think Paul Pogba had his best match tonight, not just for the goals, but for the plays he made and the sacrifices he made. “I think he has the potential to be the best player in his position if he wants to. These matches must be the norm for him.” Allegri also touched on Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Malmo, a match the Bianconeri want to get all three points from. “Wednesday’s match against Malmo is important in terms of preparation for the next match against Atletico in order to finish first.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Pioli: 'Lazio tip hats to Juve' Nov 22, 2014 Stefano Pioli said Lazio “can only tip our hats” to Juventus, but regrets letting their heads drop so early. This 3-0 result was the Aquile’s second consecutive defeat, as they fell to Empoli before the break for international duty. “Juventus proved once again tonight they are a great team, so we can only tip our hats to them,” Pioli told Sky Sport Italia. “Having said that, the team should’ve reacted differently to the opening goal. Until that moment it was a balanced encounter and we could’ve stayed in the game for longer, so that is the regret. “When you make certain mistakes against a side of this quality, you’re more likely to emerge defeated. “It’s true we didn’t create that much, but we did have chances with De Vrij, Keita and Candreva. We wanted to play between the lines and didn’t do that enough, but after the second goal it became a real problem to get back into it, above all psychologically. “Nobody made the right run at the right time on the Tevez goal and many positions were wrong. It wasn’t really a counter-attack, as everyone was supposed to be in position and we weren’t. We cannot have players who mark the box without any opponents as reference points. “We had intended to push forward and press Juventus in their own half, which we managed early on, but sometimes we kept doing it even when our players were out of position and that left too many spaces. “In the first half we should’ve moved the ball wide more and go round Juve, as they created a lot of density in the middle. Unfortunately Juve are a strong side and we ran into problems.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Capocannoniere Tevez Hails “Hard-To-Stop” Juventus Nov 22, 2014 Juventus put in a determined and dominating performance, defeating Lazio 3–0 on Saturday; but striker Carlos Tevez has already set his sights on the Bianconeri’s next test in Europe. Tevez scored a goal tonight for Juventus, and one which saw him climb at the head of the scoring chart to become the Serie A top-scorer. Tevez talked about the display against Lazio after the game, becoming top-scorer, and praising his team’s juggernaut qualities when it performs the way it did today. “It was a tough game against Lazio today but nothing could go wrong because we had the right attitude,” Tevez said to Sky Sport Italia. “I play in a great team and I am happy as you can see from my performances on the pitch. “It is a great moment for me, yes to be Serie A top-scorer. “But now we have to think about the game against Malmo; if we we play like this, it is hard to stop us.” Juventus take on Malmo in midweek Champions League action, and Tevez is already aiming to continue that good form in Europe. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Player Ratings: Lazio 0-3 Juventus Nov 22, 2014 ​Juventus comfortably brushed aside a plucky Lazio team 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Saturday evening. Paul Pogba capped off a fine counter attack to open the scoring for the Serie A table-toppers midway through the first half. Carlos Tevez grabbed a second early in the second half, before Pogba got another minutes later. Here are our player ratings for the game. Lazio Federico Marchetti – 5.5 – Exposed - Could do little about the first two goals as he was exposed by his defence. But let the third get under his body, but made a brilliant reaction save from a Mattiello thunder strike. Dusan Basta – 5 – Weakness - Somewhat culpable for all the goals. Never got close enough to his men at all. Off the pace going forward and a weakness at the back. Stefan De Vrij – 5.5 – Effort - Put an early header over the bar and made a brilliant tackle to stop Tevez in his tracks, with two men unmarked in the box. However, couldn’t deal with some excellent attacking play from the visitors in the second half. Lorik Cana – 4.5 – Absent - Nowhere to be seen on first goal. Was pulled all over the pitch by Pereyra and Tevez’s movement. Must do better. Edson Braafheid – 5.5 – Position - Took too long to close Tevez down for the first, and was out of position on numerous occasions. Lichtsteiner had the run of the Lazio left-side. Was the best of a bad bunch. Marco Parolo – 5.5 – Shadow - Overshadowed by a brilliant performance by Pogba. Didn’t offer much going forward and Juve’s runners were rarely picked up. Lucas Biglia – 6 – Tried - Tried to dictate the tempo for his side, but couldn’t get a hold on the game. Ran his heart out as he does, though it wasn’t enough. Senad Lulic – 5.5 – Nowhere - Let Pogba get beyond him on the first goal and shirked his defensive duties all too often. Keita Balde – 5 – AWOL - One effort from close range fired high and wide. But struggled against a tight Juve backline. Miroslav Klose – 4.5 – Controlled - Made a nuisance of himself particularly early in the game, though was off the pace and never tested Buffon at all. Chiellini had him under complete control. Antonio Candreva – 6.5 – Spark - Two shots of note. One went inches wide and another, a free kick, smashed straight at Buffon. Lazio’s main creative spark but was limited to a few long-range efforts. Substitutes Felipe Anderson – 6 – Intense - Replaced Keita on 57 minutes. Played with an intensity that Keita lacked and had a good couple of runs, but well handled nonetheless. Filip Djordjevic – 5.5 – Same - On for Klose after 57 minutes and faired little better than the German. Luis Cavanda – N/A - Late replacement for Basta. Juventus Gianluigi Buffon – 6 – Enough - Saved and held onto a stinging Candreva free kick got behind another. Not perfect, but did what he had to do. Stephan Lichtsteiner – 6 – Workhorse - Marshalled Keita well in first half and started the counter for the second goal. Got up and down the right side well. Leonardo Bonucci – 6 – Distributor - Was sluggish early on when Lazio were in the ascendency, but grew into the match as his distribution came to the fore. Giorgio Chiellini – 6.5 – Rock - Blocked and headed everything that came close to him, the rock at the back for Juve, negating both Klose and Djordjevic. Simone Padoin – 5 – Off - Was targeted by Lazio as a weak link early on, but handled himself well and got forward at times, slaloming his way past Lazio’s defence. Stupidly sent off for collecting two yellow cards. Andrea Pirlo – 7 – Ticking - Kept things ticking over as his teammates stole the headlines. Started the counter for the opening goal. Claudio Marchisio – 6.5 – Grew - Was fairly quiet in the opening 45 minutes. Great touch and awareness to find Tevez for the second. PAUL POGBA – 8 – Impeccable - Showed great strength and determination to run from the edge of his box for the first goal. Smacked the post with a spectacular curling shot soon after, but got a second on the hour mark. Absolutely brilliant all-round midfield display. Roberto Pereyra – 7 – Problems - Created a number of problems in the first 45, then capped an encouraging display with a deft through-ball for Pogba’s second. Carlos Tevez – 7 – Dangerous - Excellent vision and touch on the counter-attack to pick out Pogba for the opener. Showed brilliant awareness and trickery all night, a nightmare for Lazio to deal with and got a deserved goal. Fernando Llorente – 5 – Absent - Something of a ‘usual’ performance from the Spaniard. Fairly absent for the majority before being hauled off after an hour. Substitutes Alvaro Morata – 6 – Move - On after an hour for Llorente. Added more pace and movement to the frontline. Federico Mattiello – N/A - Replaced Peyreyra after 72 minutes. Produced a rocket of a shot that was well saved. Arturo Vidal – N/A - Took the place of Pirlo after 76 minutes. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Allegri: 'Pogba can be the best' Nov 22, 2014 ​Max Allegri said Paul Pogba “can become the strongest midfielder in the world” after Juventus crushed Lazio 3-0. “Pogba had a great game, but he has the quality to do even better and become the strongest midfielder in the world,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia. “He moved with the right tempo in attack and defence. It was his best performance of the season so far.” The Bianconeri have been dominant since moving to a Christmas Tree formation, scrapping Antonio Conte’s three-man defence. “The team did well, defended when necessary and I think we played fairly well with some good passing moves. We struggled a little in the first half and misplaced a few too many passes, but sorted that out. “The lads worked hard and Mattiello nearly scored when coming off the bench. It was important to get a win in such a difficult arena against a tough Lazio side, especially after Roma had won earlier today. “Andrea Pirlo hadn’t trained with the team for 10 days, but he had a great game and when we have an extra man between midfield and defence it’s normal he has more space and protection to pass the ball. “Pereyra has great technique, but he also goes straight for the goal. He runs hard and brings real intensity to the team, so I think that was his best performance of the season. He does need to improve his finishing, as a player like him needs to score at least six or seven goals per campaign. “The team works together and the more the forwards do, the easier it is for the defenders. You have to keep the ball as far away from your own box as possible and you do that by attacking. “I thought our worst performances were against Empoli, Genoa and Olympiacos. Whether playing with three at the back or four, we always moved the ball around well. With an extra man in attack you need to work harder, but it’s worth it to have more options going forward. “It might’ve seemed easy against Parma, but that was not the case, as they were fresh from a win over Inter. We need to work on keeping tight, as the more we stay tight, the less we need to run.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Paul Pogba bags brace as Juventus sweep aside Lazio Nov 22, 2014 ​Paul Pogba struck twice as Juventus continued their dominance at Lazio and moved three points clear at the top of Serie A on Saturday evening. Lazio, who have not beaten Juve at home since 2004, struggled against the current champions. Pogba put Juve on their way in the 24th minute before Carlos Tevez made it 2-0 10 minutes into the second half. Frenchman Pogba got his second nine minutes later to complete the convincing away win at the Stadio Olimpico. Juve had Simone Padoin sent off in the 70th minute for a double booking but despite playing with only 10 men, the Bianconeri kept a clean sheet. The 10th win of the campaign has given Juve a three-point cushion on Roma, whose 2-1 victory at Atalanta earlier in the day briefly put them level on points with the defending champions at the top of the table. A fifth defeat of the season for Lazio has denied the Romans a chance to climb into third place. Instead, they have remained in fifth spot but could fall further down the table by the end of the weekend. Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and defender Giorgio Chiellini went into the encounter with an extra bounce in their step after signing new deals with the Turin giants earlier this week. Lazio dominated the early exchanges and had the first chance in the 11th minute when Stefan de Vrij's header from Lucas Biglia's cross went over the bar. Shortly after, Antonio Candreva's drilled effort from the edge of the box went just wide of the far post. Juve went in front when Tevez set up Pogba in the area and the ex-Manchester United player hit a right-footed shot towards the near post to beat Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti. Pogba continued to threaten and in the 29th minute his curled attempt hit the post with Marchetti rooted to his spot. Before the interval, Candreva's free-kick was kept out by Buffon. Juve increased the tempo after the restart and doubled their advantage after a fast break. Claudio Marchisio spotted Tevez just outside the area and the Argentinian's right-footed effort beat Marchetti. Lazio coach Stefano PIoli made a double substitution shortly after with Filip Djordjevic and Felipe Anderson replacing Miroslav Klose and Keita. On the hour mark, Buffon was forced to palm over the bar Candreva's bullet strike from 25 yards. Juve then made it 3-0 when a great play by Roberto Pereyra saw the Argentinian midfielder set up Pogba in the box and he cooly struck the ball past Marchetti.. A tactical foul by Padoin on Candreva earned him a second yellow card, leaving Juve down to 10 men. But Lazio still could not find a way through. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Lazio 0-3 Juventus: Prodigal Pogba Punishes Biancocelesti Nov 22, 2014 ​Juventus easily swept past Lazio with a 3-0 victory in Serie A action at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night. Goals on either side of the half from Paul Pogba were split by Carlos Tevez’s ninth goal of the season, while Simone Padoin was sent off late in a match that secured Juventus remain three points ahead of second place Roma. The Biancocelesti had the first chance of the match in the 17th minute when Keita Balde Diao’s lateral pass found Antonio Candreva just outside the area, but the Italians placed right footed shot went just wide of goal. It was the away side who opened the scoring when Tevez’ superb through ball to Pogba found the Frenchman on the counter, before easily slotting past Federico Marchetti to give the Bianconeri the 1-0 lead in the 24th minute. The Bianconeri nearly doubled their lead in the 29th minute as Pogba found space down the left before cutting in and sending his curling effort past a helpless Marchetti but off the far post. Candreva responded in the 37th minute when his free kick from distance was saved low by Gianluigi Buffon, with the Italian covering the rebound. The away side doubled their lead in the 55th minute after another splendid counter. This time it was Claudio Marchisio who raced down the field and found an unmarked Tevez outside the penalty area, with the Argentine coolly sending his effort past a diving Marchetti to make it 2-0. Lazio showed timid signs of response when Candreva unleashed a left footed effort from 30 metres out, but Buffon alertly pushed the ball out for a corner kick. Juve all but wrapped things up in the 64th minute with Pogba bagging his brace to make it 3-0. Roberto Pereyra turned outside the penalty area and found the young Frenchman all alone as he slotted home after waiting for Marchetti to drop to the ground. It wasn’t all positives for Massimiliano Allegri’s side however as they were reduced to 10 men when Padoin was sent off for his second yellow card of the match after fouling Candreva soon after. The Lazio midfielder once again attempted to get his name on the scoresheet from a free kick. His long range effort was spilled by Buffon, but play was halted for a foul by Filip Djordjevic on Giorgio Chiellini in the 72nd minute. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Juve continued to push forward as second half substitute Federico Mattiello’s left footed strike forced a great save out of Marchetti in the 75th minute. Felipe Anderson’s name was next on the list to try and break Buffon’s cleansheet, but after dribbling past two Juve defenders, the Italian goalkeeper punched away the Brazilian’s effort to keep the score at 3-0 and send the Bianconeri home with all three points. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Pogba double dooms Lazio Paul Pogba’s brace and Carlos Tevez allowed 10-man Juventus to thump Lazio 3-0 at the Olimpico. Nov 22, 2014 ​This means Juve are unbeaten in 20 Serie A meetings with the Aquile, home and away, since December 2003. The Bianconeri again used the Christmas Tree formation with Carlos Tevez and Roberto Pereyra in supporting roles, but welcomed back Andrea Pirlo. Andrea Barzagli, Angelo Ogbonna, Patrice Evra, Martin Caceres, Kwadwo Asamoah and Luca Marrone were out injured. Lazio missed Michael Ciani, Stefano Mauri, Bruno Pereirinha, Diego Novaretti and Santiago Gentiletti, though Keita Balde Diao was finally fit again and Miroslav Klose was picked ahead of Filip Djordjevic. Stefan de Vrij, Carlos Tevez and Antonio Candreva had early efforts not far off target, while De Vrij performed a crucial sliding tackle to stop Tevez shooting from nine yards. Juve broke the deadlock with a classic counter-attack, as Tevez switched the play for Paul Pogba, who kept his cool to drill in from the edge of the box. Pogba almost had a magical second, as his curler left Federico Marchetti stranded, but smacked against the top of the far post. That goal completely changed the game, as Lazio seemed to lose confidence and intensity. Gigi Buffon needed two attempts to get a powerful Antonio Candreva free kick under control, while Keita volleyed over from close range. Juve doubled their advantage after the restart, as Lorik Cana’s error sparked a counter with Claudio Marchisio setting up unmarked Tevez on the edge of the box. It was the Apache’s ninth goal in the last 10 Serie A games. Candreva stung Buffon’s gloves, but Pogba added a third when Pirlo and Pereyra combined to thread through and he side-footed the finish under Marchetti. The 21-year-old feinted a shot across the goalkeeper, but then put it near post instead. Juventus went down to 10 men for the final 20 minutes, as Simone Padoin received his second yellow card for a mistimed block on Candreva. Buffon spilled another missile of a Candreva free kick and it almost squirmed over the line. Federico Mattiello came off the bench for his second Serie A appearance and within a few minutes the 19-year-old had forced Marchetti to palm his screamer out from under the bar. Felipe Anderson tried to get one back late on when dribbling between Arturo Vidal and Stephan Lichtsteiner, but found Buffon alert from close range. LAZIO: Marchetti; Basta (Cavanda 87), De Vrij, Cana, Braafheid; Parolo, Biglia, Lulic; Candreva, Klose (Djordjevic 56), Keita (Felipe Anderson 56) JUVENTUS: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Padoin; Pirlo (Vidal 76), Marchisio, Pogba; Pereyra (Mattiello 72), Tevez; Llorente (Morata 61) Ref: Damato Sent off: Padoin 70 (J) http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

LAZIO - JUVENTUS 0 - 3 Paul Pogba (24') Carlos Tévez (55') Paul Pogba (64') Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium, Rome Referee: Antonio Damato Lazio 0-3 Juventus: Pogba at the double as Bianconeri blitz Biancocelesti The Frenchman scored twice either side of another goal from Carlos Tevez as the reigning Italian champions cruised to victory - despite the late dismissal of Simone Padoin. Nov 22, 2014 ​Paul Pogba netted twice as 10-man Juventus restored their three-point lead at the top of Serie A with a 3-0 win at Lazio on Saturday night. Two goals from Paul Pogba - either side of one for Carlos Tevez - completed a routine triumph in at the Stadio Olimpico and the result means Juve have now gone 20 Serie A matches without losing against the side from the Italian capital. The win restored the champions' three-point lead at the top of the table, after Roma had moved level with them thanks to a 2-1 victory at Atalanta earlier in the day. Juventus were comfortably the better side throughout and never looked like relinquishing their advantage after Pogba's composed strike gave them the edge. Tevez's goal - his ninth in the league this season - came early in the second period as Juve assumed complete control, which was underlined when Pogba tucked home his second in the 64th minute. There was one sour note for the visitors when Simone Padoin was shown a second yellow card for a block on Antonio Candreva 20 minutes from time, but it did little to affect the outcome as Massimiliano Allegri's side managed comfortably being a man down. Following an uneventful opening to the game, Juve broke the deadlock midway through the half thanks to a devastating counter-attack. Juve broke through Tevez after clearing a Lazio free-kick and his lofted pass was deftly controlled by Pogba, who slotted a cool finish beyond Federico Marchetti. The France international almost doubled his tally in the 29th minute, but his curled effort from the left-hand corner of the box struck the outside of the post with Marchetti well beaten. Gianluigi Buffon was tested for the first time eight minutes prior to the interval when the goalkeeper gathered Candreva's awkward bouncing free-kick at the second attempt. Juve continued to assert their dominance after the break and doubled their advantage in the 55th minute through Tevez's well-taken strike. Claudio Marchisio broke forward and, with Lazio exposed at the back, slipped a pass to the Argentine, who took a touch before planting a low finish into the bottom left-hand corner. Candreva attempted to drag his side back into the match, but once again Buffon proved equal to his rasping drive from distance. Any hopes of an unlikely comeback were quickly dashed, however, as Pogba slotted in a low finish following a sublime reverse ball from Roberto Pereyra. Padoin, who had been booked in the first half for handball, was then dismissed, but the visitors continued to look the more threatening. Federico Mattiello, introduced in place of Pereyra in the wake of Padoin's sending off, brought a flying save out of Marchetti as Juve cruised to a fourth successive win in all competitions. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Basta ... cosí.

Forse perché i ragazzi non erano pronti a cambiare schema. Occorre tempo e lavoro per farlo.

Da una parte, i laziali sono contenti di aver danneggiato i lupacchiotti.

Soffre questa situazione.
