Serie A Wrap: Last-gasp Juve extend lead

Substitute Stephan Lichtsteiner, making his return from two months on the sidelines, saw his shot diverted in by Llorente to secure a 1-0 win in the third minute of added time on Sunday – Juventus' sixth league triumph in succession.

Second-placed Roma also had a late intervention, in the form of Kevin Strootman's close-range finish, to thank for preserving their unbeaten record at Atalanta.

The hosts led when Morgan de Sanctis misjudged Davide Brivio's 51st-minute free-kick and Roma are now without a win in four games, their runaway early-season form an increasingly distant memory.

Lucas Castros' 13th-minute strike took a deflection of Daniele Bonera to open the scoring, but Riccardo Montolivo levelled matters with a fine volleyed finish from Urby Emanuelson's cross.

Chievo's upturn in fortunes under Eugenio Corini continued, with Luca Rigoni, Cyril Thereau and Alberto Paloschi on target in the 3-0 win over Livorno.
