Del Piero keeps Juve clear

Alessandro Del Piero came off the bench to fire Juventus to victory over Udinese and maintain the champions’ eight-point lead at the top of Serie A.

Del Piero came on as a second-half substitute as Juve struggled to break down their opponents and in the 70th minute he struck the only goal of the game when he got on the end of a pass by Brazil international Emerson.
