Juventus assistant coach Angelo Alessio has accused Lazio of playing for a point following their stalemate in Turin.

The result means that the Bianconeri are now five points clear of Inter Milan at the top of Serie A, but the Narazzurri could close that gap when they take on Cagliari at the San Siro tomorrow.

Alessio bemoaned Juve's profligacy in front of goal against Aquile, but said that they must now move on to their next game.

"We had so many scoring opportunities and dominated the match," Football Italia quotes Alessio as saying. "We had everything except the goal.

"Lazio played in a catenaccio (door bolt) style and were simply defensive throughout. We must focus only on our own progress and our position in the table."

Antonio Conte's men travel to the San Siro to face AC Milan next week.
