Serie A | Lazio 1-1 Juventus: Dramatic late draw pegs back 10 men

Juventus see red against Lazio

However, much like when facing Monza, Juventus shot themselves in the foot with an entirely unforced error. Pierre Kalulu lashed out a fist onto the back of Taty Castellanos during a coming together and VAR spotted the gesture, prompting the referee to show a straight red card. Kenan Yildiz is still sitting out a two-match ban for a very similar incident.

Lazio began to pour forward against 10 men, Mario Gila’s header smothered by Di Gregorio and Pedro firing just over the bar.

Pedro also tested the goalkeeper from distance, then Renato Veiga made an acrobatic and very risky clearance to prevent Boulaye Dia tapping in the Luca Pellegrini cross.

Tudor raised some eyebrows when he hauled off two substitutes Francisco Conceicao and Vasilije Adzic, the latter only coming on 10 minutes earlier, to introduce Vlahovic and Gatti.

The Lazio siege continued, Romagnoli nodding a corner over and the referee pointed to the spot for a penalty on 88 minutes when Nicoló Savona’s awful back-pass saw Di Gregorio crash into Castellanos. However, VAR came to Juve’s rescue this time, confirming the striker was offside and therefore no spot-kick.

The drama continued in stoppages with an astonishing Di Gregorio fingertip save to push the Dia angled drive onto the upright from point-blank range.

It wasn’t over, as at the 96th minute Di Gregorio made another great save on the Castellanos header from a Manuel Lazzari cross, but could do nothing on Vecino’s rebound from three yards.
