Sassuolo 3-3 Juventus:Juve's title ambitions suffers setback in thrilling draw

-
Juventus saw their lead at the top of the Sere A table cut down to seven points after an entertaining 3-3 draw at Sassuolo.

Danilo and Higuain put them 2-0 up inside 12 minutes, before Filip Djuricic pulled one back, and Domenico Berardi levelled matters six minutes after the break and then set up Francesco Caputo to hand the hosts the lead, only for Alex Sandro to steal a point for Maurizio Sarri's men.

Danilo opened the scoring as he bent home from Miralem Pjanic's low delivery from a corner kick to the edge of the area and Gonzalo Higuain then profited from a sublime through ball by Pjanic as Higuain converted on the half volley.

Wojciech Szczesny produced brilliant saves to deny both Mert Muldur and then Berardi but he could do nothing to stop Djuricic from finding the top right hand corner after more good work from Muldur.

Szczesny did well to hold a drive from Berardi as Sassuolo continued to press, with Ronaldo seeing a chance to restore Juve's two goal lead in first half stoppage time deflected over.

The hosts drew level in style as Berardi superb free kick left Szczensny with no chance from the edge of the area.

The remarkable turnaround for the hosts was completed when Berardi's ball across the face of goal found Caputo to tap in at the far post.

Adrien Rabiot nodded wide and Cristiano Ronaldo shot straight at Consigle but Alex Sandro made no mistake in converting from Rodrigo Bentancur's corner to draw Juve level.

Consigli denied Ronaldo from close range and at the other end Szczensny had to be at his best to deny Hamed Junior Traore,with Alex Sandro clearing the follow-up from Jeremie Boga in a fittingly frantic finale.

What's next? 
Juventus will next face Lazio on Monday while Sassuolo visit Cagliari on Saturday.

Danny Ings scored his 21st Premier League goal of the season as Southampton defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium.  Ings scored with a good finish in tge 41st minute as he put glitters to sweeping Saints counter attack.  He had a chance to double his side's lead, but he sent a tame shot that was saved by Aaron Ramsdale, after Harry Wilson handled in the box. Bournemouth thought they had equalised through Sam Surridge, only for VAR to judge that Callum Wilson was in an offside position whilst also interfering with play, before Substitute Che Adams hit the final nail in the coffin to almost certainly dash Bournemouth's hopes of staying up. Eddie Howe's men are three points from safety with a trip to Everton still to come. Survival on goal difference is the best they can hope for, as 17th placed Watford will condemn the Cherries to the 2nd division for next season, if and only if they can claim a point from one of their last two games with matches agains...

Chelsea have confirmed that they will play in Champions League next season as goals from Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud sealed a 2-0 win on the final day of the Premier League season.

Although the first half of the match was highly devoid of action until a wonderful Mason Mount free kick goal. While, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount combined to set up Giroud, before he rounded Rui Patricio and held off Conor Coady before scoring into an empty net. Diogo Jota brought out a save from Willy Caballero just before the hour. But the Blues were hardly troubled as they held on to 4th position in the league in Lampard's first season in charge.
