90' +3
Danilo controls a loose ball 30 yards out and wastefully fires a wild shot well over the bar. Juventus were building a strong spell of pressure there before Danilo's interruption.

81'
Pjanic audaciously tries to chip Strakosha from the halfway line and - although it has the goalkeeper scrambling - it trickles a few yards wide of the post.
79'
G. Higuaín enters the game and replaces P. Dybala.
Penalty saved by W. Szczęsny!
Dybala is replaced by Higuain as Juventus search for an unlikely equaliser.
Szczesny makes a superb double save from the penalty! Immobile steps up confidently but the goalkeeper gets down low to push the initial effort out, but it ricochets straight back to the striker who volleys it back at goal where Szczesny reacts acrobatically to parry it away from harm!
Immobile placed his penalty towards the bottom corner, but it was met by a stunning save from Szczesny, who then managed to keep out his second effort that - if anything - appeared to be an easier chance than the spot-kick!
77'
W. Szczęsny gets yellow.
Szczesny is booked for his foul on Correa, as Immobile prepares to take the resulting spot-kick.

S. Milinković-Savić has scored a goal for Lazio! Assist by Luis Alberto.
LAZIO TAKE THE LEAD! Juventus were already reeling from being reduced to ten men and now they're a goal down too! A pinpoint, clipped throughball from Luis Alberto delicately sails over Bonucci and into the path of Milinkovic-Savic who takes the bouncing ball down before drilling a low shot at an angle beyond the despairing Szczesny!
Luis Alberto collects his second assist of the day with an imaginative chipped pass over the top of the Juventus defence. It was going to take something special to put Lazio ahead in this game and the midfielder duly delivered.

Bernardeschi is replaced by Danilo as Juventus look to tighten up after going down to ten men.
69'
J. Cuadrado goes off after a red card!
The referee carefully watches the video and returns to the pitch to overrule the earlier yellow and show Cuadrado a red! It certainly looked like a deliberate professional foul and Cuadrado can have few complaints.
63'
M. Lazzari gets yellow.
Alex Sandro skips past Lazzari down the left flank and the wing-back responds by diving in and bringing the Juventus defender down, earning himself a yellow card.
59'
So far the second half has been a notably tighter affair than the first period. The game's still being played at a frantic tempo, but while the first 45 was characterised by its fluency in attack, the second has been marred by carelessness in the final third.
57'
Matuidi goes down after a late, high challenge from Luiz Felipe and - despite Ronaldo's protests - the referee strangely waves play on. That looked like a yellow card at the very least.
56'
A poor clearance from Acerbi goes straight to Pjanic who quickly shuttles the ball to Ronaldo, who plays a poor pass straight at Radu and Lazio hurriedly clear.
54'
Milinkovic-Savic elegantly slips Correa in behind the Juventus defence, but Cuadrado does brilliantly to stay with the attacker and drive him away from goal before Can gets back to poke the ball away.
52'
Juventus cheaply surrender possession allowing Lulic to gallop into their half, however the away side track back in numbers and manage to crowd Lulic out before he can whip in a cross.
50'
Luis Alberto picks up possession 30 yards from goal and - with no option immediately presenting itself - he cracks off a vicious shot that Szczesny does well to gather at the second attempt.
46'

HALF TIME: Lazio 1-1 Juventus
45' +1
Luiz Felipe has scored a goal for Lazio! Assist by Luis Alberto.
Luis Alberto's set-pieces have been inconsistent today, but that was the ideal delivery at the perfect moment to force an equaliser for Lazio just before half time!
LAZIO EQUALISE! 1-1! The hosts work a corner short, allowing Luis Alberto a better angle from which to bend in a cross and the midfielder takes full advantage by curling in a delivery that arcs just over Bonucci's despairing leap and into the path of Luiz Felipe who rises to thump a header past Szczesny from close range!
42'
Immobile makes an enterprising run to meet Lazzari's cross, but his header is weak and falls straight into Szczesny's arms.
41'
E. Can enters the game and replaces R. Bentancur.
Bentancur fails to overcome his earlier knock and he's replaced in midfield by Can.
39'
Luis Alberto whips in the resulting corner and the away side struggle to clear it out of the box, however, every Lazio shot is firmly met by a stoic block and eventually Juventus manage to concede a throw-in deep inside their own half.
38'
Lazio try and push forward again, but their attack stalls and Radu eventually lashes a shot from 35 yards that deflects off Bonucci and away for a corner.
37'
P. Dybala gets yellow.
Dybala is booked for lunging in late on Lazzari just inside the Lazio half.
33'
Luis Alberto eventually steps up to take the set-piece and curls it wastefully over the bar.
29'
Lazio work an intricate move on the edge of the box that culminates with Lulic being tripped right on the 18 yard line. The referee doesn't award a penalty, but it looks like an incredibly promising spot for a free-kick.
25'
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored a goal for Juventus! Assist by R. Bentancur.
JUVENTUS TAKE THE LEAD! 1-0! Dybala manages to slip Bentancur in behind the Lazio defence down the right, before the midfielder slides a perfectly weighted pass across goal towards Ronaldo, who races in to tap the ball into an empty net! That was a beautifully worked move!
Bentancur only had a thin corridor to place his pass through to Ronaldo there: any further ahead and Strakosha would have claimed it - any weaker and Radu would have managed to clear it away. As it was, the midfielder superbly managed to bisect the two and set up a lovely team goal!
19'
The hosts try and gain a measure of control over the game with a period of short passing in their own half, but as soon as Lucas misplaces a pass Matuidi is upon him to force the ball all the way back to Strakosha.
17'
The early stages of this game have been characterized by a frantic intensity. Both teams are pressing the opposition backline furiously, and then, when they have possession, the sides are both trying to transition into quick, incisive attacks as quickly as possible.
13'
Ronaldo ominously runs at the Lazio defence before attempting to jink inside onto his left foot, but Milinkovic-Savic superbly tracks back to recover and poke the ball away from the attacker.
11'
M. Pjanić gets yellow.

3'

1'
Lazio get the first half underway.
Hello and welcome to live commentary of this Serie A fixture between Lazio and Juventus. Both sides come into this clash in imperious form: Lazio have won six games on the bounce while Juventus are undefeated so far this season with four wins during their last six.
LAZIO (3-5-1-1): Thomas Strakosha; Francesco Acerbi, Luiz Felipe, Stefan Radu; Manuel Lazzari, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas Leiva, Luis Alberto, Senad Lulic; Joaquin Correa; Ciro Immobile.
SUBS: Denis Vavro, Bastos, Guido Guerrieri, Silvio Proto, Jony, Marco Parolo, Andre Anderson, Jorge Silva, Danilo Cataldi, Felipe Caicedo.
JUVENTUS (4-3-1-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Juan Cuadrado, Leonardo Bonucci, Matthijs de Ligt, Alex Sandro; Rodrigo Bentancur, Miralem Pjanic, Blaise Matuidi; Federico Bernardeschi; Paulo Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo.
It’s not just recent form that’s at stake though. The hosts sit third in the table while Juventus are second – both teams will be desperate for a victory today to continue to chase down Inter at the summit of the Serie A table and push on after an electric start to the season.
SUBS: Gonzalo Higuain, Manolo Portanova, Carlo Pinsoglio, Adrien Rabiot, Simone Muratore, Emre Can, Marko Pjaca, Mattia De Sciglio, Gianluigi Buffon, Daniele Rugani, Merih Demiral, Danilo.
The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick off is just seconds away!
Going forward, if the second 45 is anything like the first you'd expect both teams to continue to create plenty of chances. With Inter two points clear at the top of Serie A, only a win will be enough to reel in the leaders.
That's all for now though, goodbye!
Lazio move within three points of Juventus, who remain second place in the table. But more importantly, the result confirms that - for the time being - there's a three-horse race for the Scudetto with the hosts securing a statement victory that'll certainly gain the attention of Inter at the top of the league.
