Juve end 2022 strongly by dominating Lazio

ROME - Juventus ended their 2022 schedule with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Lazio on Sunday, notching up six consecutive wins in Serie A.

Despite having less possession, the Bianconeri were more aggressive and broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute when Adrien Rabiot won back possession and delivered a long assist for Moise Kean to finish with a lob.

The home side doubled the lead eight minutes after the break as Filip Kostic's attempt was smothered into the path of Kean, who tapped home his second of the game.

Juve sealed the game before the whistle when Federico Chiesa rolled across for Arkadiusz Milik to make it 3-0.

The win surged Juve to third place with 31 points, two points behind AC Milan who edged past Fiorentina 2-1 thanks to Nikola Milenkovic's late own goal.

It was also a good day for Milan's other club, as Inter came from behind to beat Atalanta 3-2.

Elsewhere, Nemanja Matic's late equalizer helped Roma share the spoils with Torino in a 1-1 draw. Paulo Dybala returned to action for the Giallorossi and earned a penalty, but Andrea Belotti failed to convert the spot-kick against his old club.

Also on Sunday, Monza crushed Salernitana 3-0, while Spezia won 2-1 at Verona.
