SPECTACULAR FINISH

Trezeguet got on the scoresheet eight minutes later with a spectacular finish at full-stretch to poke the ball into the bottom corner of the net.

Fabio Cannavaro and Adrian Mutu went close to extending Juventus's advantage before Trezeguet got their third goal -- and his 13th in Serie A this season -- in the 53rd minute, sweeping home Nedved's lay-off.

The French international completed a memorable performance midway through the half when he rushed into the area, rounded Campagnolo and angled a shot goalwards.

The ball bounced off the base of the post, struck back-pedalling defender Fabio Vignati and rolled into the net to complete Juventus's victory.

Luck was also with Livorno as they overcame visitors Lazio.

Diego De Ascentis headed Livorno ahead in the 59th minute, only for Goran Pandev to pull the Rome side level with a goal on the break six minutes later.

The game seemed headed for a draw but with 12 minutes left a shot by Livorno striker Cristiano Lucarelli was deflected by defender Luciano Zauri, hit the post, bounced off diving keeper Angelo Peruzzi and rolled into the net.

The victory took Livornon onto 28 points and consolidated their position in fifth place.

Udinese slipped one place to 11th when they lost 2-1 at home to relegation strugglers Lecce while AS Roma's erratic form continued with a 2-1 defeat against visiting Palermo.
