Juventus had to work hard for a
precious 2-1 home win over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions
League on Wednesday, while AS Roma impressed in a 3-3 draw at
Chelsea.
Juve are second in Group D with six points from three games,
three behind leaders Barcelona, after a Miralem Pjanic free-kick
canceled out an Alex Sandro own goal and Mario Mandzukic scored
a late winner.
Roma did not lose their heads after going 2-0 down in the
early stages at Stamford Bridge and were unlucky not to notch a
memorable victory.
Aleksandar Kolarov pulled one back and then Edin Dzeko struck
twice to put the visitors in front, before Eden Hazard completed
a double to earn the London side a draw.
Chelsea lead Group C with seven points, while Roma are second
with five and Atletico Madrid are third with two after a
surprise goalless draw at Qarabag.
