Juve within striking distance of another title

Juventus substitute Alvaro Morata only needed 10 minutes and one superb strike in Palermo on Saturday to fire the champion to a 1-0 win, a 14-point lead in Serie A and another step closer to a seemingly inevitable 31st Scudetto.

Juve's first triumph away from home in more than two months gives it 64 points from 27 games, while second-placed AS Roma, which hosts Sampdoria on Monday, trails on 50 from 26 games.

"One less win needed to win the league," Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri said in an interview with Sky Sports Italia. "Probably six more victories and a few draws should be enough."
