Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 24th goal of the season but Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw away to Verona to slip further behind in the title race on Saturday night.
It was a lively start to the game with Aaron Ramsey and Federico Chiesa going close while the home side had the best opportunity with Davide Faraoni’s header tipped onto the post by Wojciech Szczęsny.
But as the half wore on Andrea Pirlo’s side, missing a number of players through injury, were unable to break down a well organised Verona defence.
