Juventus 1-0 Fiorentina
- Published
Juventus went 14 points clear at the top of Serie A with a victory over Fiorentina thanks to Kwadwo Asamoah's brilliant goal.
The defending champions, who have now won all 15 home games in Serie A this season, almost went ahead when Asamoah's deflected shot was saved by Viola goalkeeper Neto.
The Ghana midfielder put another shot wide and team-mate Paul Pogba volleyed over, before Asamoah's moment of magic three minutes from half-time. He produced a clever drag-back in the area to find space from a group of defenders before firing into the top corner.
Fiorentina, who remain seven points behind the Champions League places, almost salvaged a draw when substitute Ryder Matos headed off the crossbar with 10 minutes left.
But Vincenzo Montella's side - the only team to beat Juve in Serie A this season - were unable to take points off their hosts for the second time.
Second-placed Roma still have a game in hand on Juventus, but missed a chance to narrow the gap when they lost 1-0 to Napoli on Sunday evening.
