Juve's Samp shock shakes up title race

MILAN - This season's Serie A title race, shaping up to be the most interesting in years, took another turn on Sunday when Juventus fell to a stunning 3-2 loss at Sampdoria.

Captain Gianluigi Buffon and defender Andrea Barzagli were rested in the wake of Italy's World Cup exit, and without them Juve looked lethargic.

"Explaining this match is difficult, it's a match which leaves you with your mouth open because we didn't let them have almost any chances," said Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.
