admin14-point lead over second-placed Napoli, who, even in the event of a win over Inter Milan in a late match yesterday, cannot overtake the Turin giants in the final three games of the season. Chilean international Vidal had been Juve’s top scorer this season, the attacking midfielder scoring nine in the league and 14 in all competitions prior to Sunday’s encounter at Juventus Stadium.
When the hosts were awarded a penalty just before the hour after midfielder Massimo Donati fouled Bianconeri striker Mirko Vucinic in the area, Vidal stepped up to beat Stefano Sorrentino in the Palermo goal. Vidal was cautioned for over-exuberant celebrations but the goal sent Juventus Stadium into raptures. Juve’s title celebrations were tinged by the late sending-off of French midfielder Paul Pogba, who saw red seven minutes from the final whistle after spitting at Salvatore Aronica following a shouting. — AFP.
