However, things went completely wrong when Lautaro Giannetti netted in the 25^th minute to give the lead to Udinese. Despite having more than 70 minutes with extra time to answer, Juventus failed even to tie the game and lost its 2nd straight match in Serie A as the Old Lady is without a victory in the last 3 league games, and the title is slipping away.
