No goals for Juventus, Fiorentina

Italian champions Juventus are held to a goalless draw on their trip to Fiorentina in Serie A.

Juventus have dropped points for just the third time this season after being held to a goalless draw by Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Serie A this evening.

Juan Cuadrado attempted to give the hosts the lead early on when he tried his luck from the edge of the area, but his strike was blocked by troubled Leonardo Bonucci.

Paul Pogba and Fernando Llorente both looked lively on the attack for the Italian champions, but neither had an effort on target in the early stages.

Matias Fernandez came within inches of opening the scoring when he tried to curl a free kick in from 20 yards out after Pogba had conceded the set piece, but his finish was just wide of the post.

Juventus made a strong start to the second half as Patrice Evra tried to head in from an Angelo Ogbonna ball into the box, but it was a comfortable save for Neto in the end.

The visitors continued to look the more likely as the second half progressed, with Giorgio Chiellini force another stop from Neto with a low effort from range, but the Fiorentina keeper watched it all the way.

Cuadrado had another opportunity for the home side inside the final 25 minutes, but his driven finish was kept out by Gianluigi Buffon.

Juventus dominated the final 10 minutes as they looked to force a late winner, but Khouma Babacar had his powerful strike turned behind, while Carlos Tevez failed to latch on to the end of a long ball forward.

The result leaves Juventus four points clear at the top of the table, while Fiorentina sit eighth.
