Serie A: Juventus' winless streak continues with frustrating draw; AC Milan seal comeback win

Milan: Juventus was held to a 3-3 draw at Sassuolo in Serie A on Wednesday, although that will do little to slow its seemingly unstoppable march to a record-extending ninth straight league title. Juventus is seven points ahead of Atalanta, which beat Brescia 6-2 on Tuesday, and eight points ahead of Lazio five games remaining after the capital side also drew — 0-0 at relegation-threatened Udinese. Fourth-place Inter is nine points behind Juventus and visits Spal on Thursday. It was Juve’s third straight match without a win after a 4-2 loss against AC Milan — after going 2-0 up — and a 2-2 draw against Atalanta. “A coach demands consistency from his own team and at the moment we’re struggling to keep that, both physically and mentally,” Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri said. “We have really good moments alternated with moments of passivity that are difficult to understand. “Although it should be said that we are facing teams in great form such as Atalanta and Sassuolo. But we have to resolve this problem of highs and lows.” [caption id=“attachment_8604341” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] ![Sassuolo's Filip Djuricic, left, celebrates with Francesco Caputo after scoring a goal while Cristiano Ronaldo looks on.

AP[/caption] Juve seemed to be cruising early as it went 2-0 up within 12 minutes following goals from Danilo and Gonzalo Higuain. However, Filip Đuričić pulled one back in the 29th minute and Sassuolo had the better of the chances at the end of the first half. Sassuolo turned things around shortly after the break as Domenico Berardi equalized with a free kick and set up Francesco Caputo three minutes later. Alex Sandro headed in a corner for Juventus to level in the 64th and Bianconeri goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny pulled off a number of important saves throughout the match to leave the Bianconeri ultimately grateful for a point. Lazio Struggles Lazio has struggled since the restart and was somewhat fortunate not to lose against Udinese. Rodrigo De Paul hit the post in stoppage time for Udinese, which inched seven points clear of the relegation zone. Lazio came into the match on the back of three successive defeats and had only won two of its previous six matches since Serie A resumed following the break because of the coronavirus pandemic. “This group should not be touched (criticized), its been doing incredible things for four years,” Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi said. “Before the stop we had lost two matches in 10 months, that’s why I’ll only accept constructive criticism. “We are close to qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in 13 years and for the first time in 20 we were in the hunt for the title, where without the pandemic maybe things would have gone differently.” Milan closes in on securing European spot AC Milan boosted its chances of qualifying for Europe as it came from behind to beat Parma 3-1. Milan moved level on points with sixth-place Napoli, which drew 1-1 at Bologna. Roma is four points ahead after beating Hellas Verona 2-1. Elsewhere, Sampdoria beat Cagliari 3-0 to move eight points above the drop zone and 18th-place Lecce, which lost 3-1 at home to Fiorentina.
