MILAN: It was a tale of two celebrations in Turin as Juventus beat relegation-threatened Udinese 2-0 in Serie A on Saturday.

Weston McKennie sealed the match 11 minutes from time and the American, a Harry Potter fan, marked the goal with his usual wand celebration.

It was a complete contrast to Paulo Dybala`s distinct lack of celebration when he swept home a classy finish from Kean`s lay-off in the 19th minute. The forward, who is embroiled in ongoing lengthy discussions over a new contract, instead gave an icy glare towards the director`s box.

`I invited a friend and I couldn`t find him,` Dybala said. He was then asked if people could believe that and responded: `I don`t know, that`s up to you ... there have been a lot of stories, a lot of things have happened, I prefer not to talk.

Juve moved level on 41 points with fourth-placed Atalanta, who have played two matches less than the Bianconeri. Udinese remained four points above the drop zone alongside Sampdoria, who lost 2-1 to Torino in Saturday`s early match.

Ciro Immobile scored two goals and had a hand in another as Lazio won at last-placed Salernitana 3-0 to move up to sixth place.

Immobile scored his two within three minutes early in the match. Manuel Lazzari added a third in the second half.

Salernitana, who announced three new Covid-19 cases shortly before 1(ick-off, are six points away from 17th-placed Venezia.-Agencies
