Title: Juventus on target as Roma rejoice
Post by: Folami David on Mar 18, 2013, 11:45 AM

Juventus remained on course to defend their Serie A title with a 2-0 away win to Bologna as challengers Napoli stayed nine points behind with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Atalanta on Sunday.
.
Elsewhere, Francesco Totti scored Roma's second, and his 226th in Serie A, to help his side to a 2-0 home win over Parma and a jump up two places to sixth and ahead of depleted city rivals Lazio.
.
Totti's goal means he is alone in second place in the all-time list of scorers in Serie A, one ahead of retired AC Milan great Gunnar Nordahl (225) but still 48 short of Silvio Piola.
.
Lazio's torrid month continued, meanwhile, with a 1-0 reverse in snow-hit Turin where a late goal by Jonathas secured what was only Torino's eighth win of the campaign.
.
The visitors were handicapped when French defender Michael Ciani saw red following a sliding challenge on Brazilian striker Paulo Barreto before the quarter hour.
.
In difficult conditions, Vladimir Petkovic's men failed to take the few chances they created and were punished in the end.
.
Lazio have now won only once since a 2-0 defeat of Atalana in mid-January.
.
Juve's 20th win of the campaign on Saturday, after second-half goals from Mirko Vucinic and Claudio Marchisio, was overshadowed by a spat after Bologna accused coach Antonio Conte of going over the top with his celebrations.
.
Conte, however, hit back criticising the hostile welcome his club received on their arrival in Bologna.
.
"I know it might annoy some people when we win but there was no disrespect," he said.
.
"And let's discuss more serious matters – people who welcomed us with stones and sticks, people with children in their arms shouting obscenties.
.
"These people should be ashamed, not me. If we're leading the Scudetto race I don't see why I should not celebrate with my fans."
.
Conte said nothing is won yet and Napoli striker Edinson Cavani confirmed that by ending his recent goal drought with a brace in a hard-fought win at the San Paolo which took Napoli to within nine points.
