3:0 in Turin: Lazio demolishes Juventus – and draws level with Inter Milan

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents 3:0 in Turin: Lazio demolishes Juventus – and draws level with Inter Milan.

Sunday evening, October 18, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin – and you can already guess how the evening went for Juventus Turin. Lazio Roma swept the record champions off the pitch 3:0 away on matchday 7 of Serie A, storming to the top of the table level on points with Inter Milan. For the Biancocelesti, this is a season that even die-hard Lazio fans didn't have on their radar.

Provstgaard put the Romans ahead in the 37th minute, Isaksen then made it 2:0. A third goal – whose scorer is not named in the available reports – completed the Old Lady's home defeat. Lazio didn't necessarily play a superior game, but took its chances ice-cold. French sports media rated the match as a bitter home thrashing and spoke of a demonstration of efficiency.

Table situation after matchday 7

With the away win, Lazio draws level with Inter Milan at the top – with the same number of points, the goal difference favors the Milanese, as L'Équipe highlights. With 19 points from seven games, Lazio has set a club record according to the sports portal Elbotola. Juventus, meanwhile, slips deeper and deeper into crisis: just one win from the last five league games, eighth place, eight points behind the league leaders.

Juventus under pressure – Rennes awaits on Thursday

The defeat intensifies Juventus Turin's already tense situation. As early as Thursday, the home game against Stade Rennes awaits in the Europa League, after which the air will become even thinner for coach and team. The fans at the Allianz Stadium booed their team on Sunday evening – the signal to those in charge is unmistakable, as TV5Monde reports. With just one win from the last five league games, the team currently lacks any consistency.

What the evening means for the season

If you're a Lazio fan, you can enjoy this week: with 19 points from seven games and a club record, the team has definitively joined the circle of title contenders in Serie A. For Juventus, it's further evidence that the team has lost touch with the top this season – and that just before a pivotal European match against the French representative.

The next tough test for the Romans is already on the horizon, while Juventus must deliver under pressure. Turin showed on Sunday evening just how fragile the myth of the record champions is this season – and if you're a Juventus fan, you know the coming weeks will be uncomfortable.
