Torino’s manager angrily accused the Juventus legend of not being impartial after a controversial red card opened the door for Higuaín’s stoppage-time equaliser
You could hardly call it a dull round of fixtures. There were 10 goals scored in a single match at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico, while Juventus saw their run of 33 consecutive home victories ended by Torino in the Derby della Mole. Tiny Crotone beat Pescara to make it 14 points from their past six matches – a run matched only by Napoli in Serie A.
But what did it all add up to? Not a lot, actually. This was the weekend when everything happened but nothing changed, a sad reflection of how little remains up for grabs this season. Lazio did seal their Europa League place by beating Sampdoria 7-3, but that has not truly been in doubt for some time. Juventus, conversely, will have to wait at least one more week to secure their sixth-straight Scudetto, but still hold a seven-point advantage with three games to go.
