Juventus a win away from Serie A title after comeback victory over Milan

Serie A champions, Juventus are now a win away from clinching the title after they came from behind to beat AC Milan 2-1 at home on Saturday.

A victory at SPAL next Saturday and it’s all over in the Italian title race, as Juve will clinch their eight consecutive title.

Meanwhile, if second-placed Napoli lose to Genoa tomorrow then Juve will win the league without playing.

Trailing at home to Milan who went ahead via a Krzysztof Piatek goal, Juve fought back to level when Paulo Dybala scored from the penalty spot after winning the spot kick.

Dybala is the second player to score 10 goals for Juventus this season, after Cristiano Ronaldo (24).

Moise Kean then scored the winner on 84 minutes to end a tough week, in which he was racially abused by fans of Cagliari during Juve’s 2-0 win on Tuesday.

Kean becomes the second teenager to score five goals for Juventus in a Serie A season this century, after Paul Pogba in 2012-13.
