    FT: Udinese 2-1 Juventus!!! All over at Friuli and Juve's title will have to wait! A far from impressive Juve looked to be on their way to winning the league tonight when De Ligt scored before half-time, but Nestorovski levelled early in the second half. When it looked like it would be a draw, Fofana ran half the field in stoppage time to give Udinese a huge win. They are now all but safe as they are 7 clear of the drop with 3 games left.
  • 96'
    Free-kick to Juve at midfield. Bentancur looks to find Cuadrado, it's too strong and the ball goes out of play.
  • 95'
    Juve win a corner, but nothing comes of it.

    Fofana!!!! What a brilliant goal!!! That's huge for Udinese!! Udinese win the ball in their own half, Fofana picks up the ball at midfield and he runs thirty yards past two Juve defenders including then Ligt and he slots past Szczesny to make it 2-1!

    Four added minutes. Nothing comes of the Udinese corner.
  • 90'
    Sema goes down in the box wanting a penalty, but Rabiot was nowhere near him!

    Juve still have another three games to seal the title if they don't score here while this would be a huge point for Udinese.
  • 87'
    Dybala makes a lovely move into the box swerving in and out of players before losing his footing. Looks unlikely we'll see another goal here.

  • 45'
    HT: Udinese 0-1 Juventus! Half-time at Friuli and Juve lead thanks to a lovely strike by De Ligt in the 42nd minute. Juventus had been the better team, but far from dominant up to then. Udinese's best chance was when Danilo headed onto his own post early one while Dybala's shot saved by Musso early on was also the closest Juve have come barring the goal. Back for more in a bit!
  • 45'
    Fofana's cross is cleared and then Juve counter! The ball goes to Dybala whose effort across goal goes wide of the far post.

  • 42'
    De Ligt puts Juventus ahead!! Rabiot's ball into the box is headed away by Troost-Ekong, but only to the Dutchman who controls and then fires a shot all along the ground from 25 yards to beat Musso to his right. 0-1!
  • 41'
    Cristiano shoots from distance and it's easily saved.

  • 35'
    De Paul goes down in the box, but Ramsey and Dybala don't really do that much. Udinese were screaming for a penalty, but I think Irrati got that one right.
  • 34'
