Juventus deliver the perfect response

Juventus returned to winning ways in Serie A in some style by defeating lowly Reggina Calcio 4-0 in snowy Turin, on a night when US Lecce gained a valuable point at Calcio Catania.

Camoranesi first
The Bianconeri had their five-game winning run in the league halted by pacesetters FC Internazionale Milano last weekend, though there was little prospect of another reverse occuring once Mauro Camoranesi tucked away Pavel Nedvěd's pull-back for his first domestic goal of the season on 28 minutes. Pinto Santos struck the crossbar for the southern outfit five minutes later with a deft flick, but it was La Vecchia Signora who doubled their lead moments before half-time when Amauri brought down a loose ball in the penalty area, turned and prodded past Andrea Campagnolo.

Lecce draw
Giorgio Chiellini (61) headed in the third from a Marco Marchionni free-kick 13 minutes before Alessandro Del Piero converted a penalty. Juventus are three points adrift of Inter in second ahead of the Nerazzurri's home game with fourth-placed SSC Napoli on Sunday, while at the other end, Lecce rose a place into 16th and two points clear of third-bottom Reggina following a 1-1 draw at Catania. José Castillo (68) levelled for Lecce just eight minutes after Michele Paolucci put the Sicilian side ahead.
