Allegri urges Juventus to focus on Serie A title clash with Napoli

A draw against Crotone meant Juve's lead at the top of the table in Italy was reduced to four points ahead of their top-of-the-table clash

Juventus should be happy to hold a lead over Napoli in the Serie A title race despite fluffing their lines against lowly Crotone on Wednesday, according to Massimiliano Allegri.

The league leaders went ahead in the 16th minute when Alex Sandro headed home fellow Brazilian Douglas Costa's cross from the left flank, only to be pegged back by their hosts.

Crotone drew level courtesy of a spectacular goal from Simeon Nwankwo, the striker's bicycle kick securing Walter Zenga's strugglers a surprise point in their quest to beat the drop.
