Juventus 1-1 Lecce

Juventus remain unbeaten in the league this season but their title hopes take a blow against Lecce.

Juventus are still unbeaten in the league this year thanks to Claudio Marchisio's early goal against Lecce this evening.

The hosts took the lead after just eight minutes when Marchisio headed home an Andrea Pirlo cross.

They continued to press for a second in the opening 45 with Arturo Vidal wasting perhaps the best chance.

Juve's cause was made easier when Juan Guillermo Cuadrado was sent off for the visitors after being shown a second yellow card.

Lecce, who are struggling to stay in Serie A, grabbed a surprise equaliser with five minutes on the clock Andrea Bertolacci poked home from close range.

Marchisio almost restored Juve's lead moments later but the Italian's shot sailed just past the post.

Juventus remain top of the league in Serie A but AC Milan's win at Atalanta means their lead has been cut to a single point.
