Empoli in total crisis falling at the Carlo Castellacci Stadium defeated by Juventus. It’s a great away victory for Juventus reaching now 25 points and become the “sole leader” of the Serie A because Napoli defeated AS Roma at the San Paolo Stadium remaining with 22 points. Juventus, who lost their first game this season last week defeated by Genoa, are back to the winning road.
Juventus opening the score in the 61st minute following a free kick conceded by Empoli defender Lorenzo Tonelli after a foul on Juventus forward Sebastian Giovinco. It is midfielder Andrea Pirlo to give the lead to the Bianconeri defeating Empoli goalkeeper with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner.
