Juve's Champions League hopes take a hit after being held by Venezia

Mattia Aramu earned promoted Venezia an excellent point against the 36-time Italian champions with a curling low drive nine minutes after half-time. The 26-year-old's fifth goal of the season moved Venezia six points away from the relegation zone, a great response after throwing away a three-goal lead to lose to rivals Verona last week. "We had a real desire to bounce back after that horrible defeat, we've got a great point and we showed what we're made of," said Aramu to DAZN. "We wanted to show everyone because it hasn't been an easy week."

Juve meanwhile are sixth after being leapfrogged by Fiorentina earlier in the day and are six points behind fourth-placed Atalanta, who sit in the final Champions League spot and travel to Verona on Sunday. Massimiliano Allegri's side had looked to be on their way to their fourth straight win in all competitions when Alvaro Morata poked home Luca Pellegrini's cross in the 32nd minute. And they were unlucky not to retake the lead 10 minutes after Aramu's leveller through Federico Bernadeschi, whose superb chest and volley effort was brilliantly tipped away by Sergio Romero in the Venezia goal.

Matters were made worse for Juve by the early loss of Paulo Dybala to injury, the latest of a series of niggling problems for the Argentine.

The 28-year-old, who was substituted at half-time of Juve's 1-0 win over Malmo on Wednesday, limped off the field in the 12th minute and after being replaced by Kaio Jorge was seen with a bandage around his right knee. "I'm worried, we risked it a bit," said Allegri to DAZN. "On Wednesday he left the field with a light muscle problem. We thought he was OK but instead that wasn't the case."
