Allegri elated as Juve shakes up title tussle

MILAN - Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri could not hide his delight after his side tripped up Serie A leader Napoli to deliver a major psychological blow to its title rival.

The 1-0 victory for the defending champion moved it second, just one point behind Napoli, which suffered its first defeat in 15 matches this season.

Inter Milan - now the only unbeaten team - could claim the championship lead at home to Chievo on Sunday.
