MILAN (AP) Juventus cruised to a
4-1 victory over 10-man Lazio in Serie A on Saturday as the capital club
fell to another hefty defeat at the hands of the defending champion.
Lazio was looking to avenge its 4-0
Super Cup loss to Juventus two weeks ago, but two world-class finishes
from Arturo Vidal sent Juventus on its way to another victory.
Miroslav Klose reduced the deficit
with his first goal against Juventus but Mirko Vucinic restored the home
side's two-goal advantage shortly after halftime.
Lazio was forced to play nearly half
an hour with 10 men after Hernanes was sent off for a second yellow
card. And Carlos Tevez - who had earlier hit the crossbar - scored his
third goal in as many games.
Earlier, last year's runner-up Napoli beat Chievo Verona 4-2 in another entertaining game.
Both Napoli and Juventus have won
their opening two matches but this was a lot more convincing a result
from Antonio Conte's team than last week's narrow 1-0 win
over Sampdoria and will serve as a warning sign of just how difficult
it will be to prevent Juve from claiming a third successive league
title.
"Winning again and putting another
four goals past Lazio is a sign of our growing form, both as a
collective and as individuals," Conte said. "We have won all three of
our official matches. Today we were facing a tough opponent who always
made us suffer. It's a victory that gives us confidence, but we must
never let our concentration slip.
