Juventus celebrates crown with Carpi win

JUVENTUS celebrated another Serie A title triumph with a 2-0 victory over Carpi in a party atmosphere in Turin yesterday.

Juventus had already clinched its fifth successive title without even kicking a ball after Napoli lost 0-1 at AS Roma last Monday.

There was no sign of a celebration hangover as Hernanes scored his first goal for the club before substitute Simone Zaza wrapped up the points late on.

Carpi remained outside the relegation zone but is now above 18th-placed Palermo on goal difference after the Sicilians beat Sampdoria 2-0.

Frosinone is four points behind in 19th after wasting a two-goal lead in a 3-3 draw at AC Milan. Jeremey Menez netted a stoppage-time penalty for Milan. Mario Balotelli, who had an earlier penalty saved, also hit the bar.

Milan’s season has gone from bad to worse since it fired coach Sinisa Mihajlovic three weeks ago and reached a new low when it lost to lowly Verona last Monday.

It looked even worse at halftime at San Siro as Frosinone led 2-0 with goals from Luca Paganini and Oliver Kragl but Milan, under interim coach Christian Brocchi, hit back after the break with the help of two penalties.

Balotelli squandered the first at the start of the half when his effort was saved by Francesco Bardi but Menez made no mistake in the second minute of injury time to rescue a point for the host.

In between, Carlos Bacca pulled one back for Milan in the 50th, Federico Dionisi made it 3-1 for Frosinone five minutes later and Luca Antonelli replied for Milan with a bicycle kick.

Milan dropped to seventh below Sassuolo which beat Verona 1-0.
