6' GOAL! Juventus 0-1 Fiorentina (Milenkovic)

Milenkovic is in the right place at the right time in the box to slot the ball into an empty net, putting the visitors ahead. Chiesa was released into the right inside channel and he fired a low ball across the face of goal. Szczesny got a hand to it, but palmed it out into the box where Milenkovic was placed to convert.

37' GOAL! Juventus 1-1 Fiorentina (Sandro)

Just when the visitors should have been further ahead Juve punish them with an equaliser. Hancko, who headed the ball out for the corner commits another error. He loses Alex Sandro at the near post and the full-back connects with a diving header from Pjanic's delivery that beats Lafont to travel into the bottom corner.

43' CLOSE! Chiesa's shot hits the bar

53' OWN GOAL! Juventus 2-1 Fiorentina (Pezzella)

The home side take the lead as the Fiorentina defender is helpless guiding a low ball from Ronaldo into the net.

Pezzella had to take action, but he could only guide the ball into the net.

Match Report

Juventus swapped Champions League heartbreak for Serie A joy as they sealed the title with a 2-1 win over Fiorentina at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

Bundled out of Europe by Ajax in midweek, Massimiliano Allegri's men completed a domestic formality thanks to Alex Sandro's first-half header and a German Pezzella own goal eight minutes after the interval.

One point stood between Juve and an eighth-successive Scudetto and they were made to work for all three following Nikola Milenkovic's surprise sixth-minute opener.

The woodwork twice prevented Federico Chiesa from making life more difficult for the Bianconeri, but they shook off the lethargy in the second half to open an insurmountable lead over second-place Napoli.
