Vieira on fire for Juventus

PATRICK VIEIRA is already making a big impression in Serie A and his first-half strike helped Juventus to a 1-0 away win at Udinese which kept them two points clear of Fiorentina and Palermo

The goal from Vieira, signed from Arsenal during the summer, proved sufficient for Juve to maintain the only 100% record remaining in Italy’s top flight.

Meanwhile, last year’s league runners-up AC Milan finally gave under-pressure coach Carlo Ancelotti something to smile with a 2-0 victory over Lazio, with Andriy Shevchenko and Kaka on target.
