La Joya to the rescue!

Paulo Dybala ensured that Juventus kept the pressure on league leaders Napoli by scoring with his side’s last kick in their game against Lazio.  The Argentine sensation first nutmegged a defender, shrugged off another player before smashing the ball into the top-right corner from 10 yards out to secure all three points for his side at the Stadio Olimpico. 

The game saw the 24-year-old forward appearing in the starting lineup for the first time in two months following an injury lay-off. Prior to his goal, Allegri’s men had managed just five attempts at goal with all failing to find the target. 

An epic side scene was also witnessed when a jubilant Gianluigi Buffon sprinted from one end of the field to the other to join in the celebration of the crucial goal. Juventus currently has 68 points and a game in hand and is still a point behind table-toppers Napoli who will host AS Roma in a crunchy home encounter on Saturday night.
