Brilliant on the ground of Genoa with three goals more beautiful than the others (3-1), Juventus retained Tuesday at the 29th day the head of the championship of Italy with four points ahead of Lazio Rome, who more difficult beat the Torino (2-1).

Juventus was in a good evening and we quickly understood that the game would be long and complicated for Genoa, whose situation is more and more precarious (17th, a point before Lecce, 18th).

The Genoa team held the 0-0 until the break but they had already suffered a siege and their goalkeeper Perin had already been decisive four times, once before Bernardeschi and three times against Cristiano Ronaldo.

Turin's domination was total and the wall logically gave way very quickly in the second period. In the 50th, Dybala slalomed in the area and scored from the left his third goal in three matches.

Six minutes later, Ronaldo reached the same record with a huge strike from the right after 30 meters of solo progression (2-0, 56th).

The best was yet to come with Douglas Costa and his superb left shot in the skylight for the goal of 3-0 (73rd).

Maurizio Sarri's team then relaxed a bit and allowed Genoa to return to 3-1 with a goal, also pretty, of Pinamonti a quarter of an hour from the end (76th).

After their 4-0 victory against Lecce last weekend, Juventus therefore confirms that it is starting to find the right rhythm and seemed much more comfortable physically than in the first matches after the resumption.

- Two suspended for Lazio -

Bianconeri also keep their little mattress four points ahead of their Lazio dolphins.

Badly started on the Torino field, the Roman team had indeed finally won 2-1 at the start of this 29th day.

The Romans have character and they showed it again in Turin, as they did three days ago in front of the Fiorentina.

Both times Simone Inzaghi's men were led 1-0, both times they reversed the situation in the second period.

On Tuesday, the Torino quickly took the lead thanks to a penalty generously awarded for a hand from Immobile and transformed by Belotti (5th).

But Lazio remained patient and well organized and logically spoke of its superiority over the Torino, still struggling in the classification (14th).

In the 48th minute, Immobile tied on a pass from Luis Alberto, scoring his 29th goal of the season. And in the 72nd minute, Parolo gave the Romans the advantage on a deflected strike.

The Roman evening was still spoiled by the yellow cards received by Immobile and Caicedo, who will both be suspended in the next match, against AC Milan. Inzaghi will therefore have to rethink his attack.

On Wednesday, Inter Milan (3rd) will welcome Brescia (19th). On Thursday, Atalanta Bergamo (4th) will host Naples (6th), while AS Rome (5th) will play against Udinese (15th).
