Fofana scores as Troost-Ekong’s Udinese steer clear of relegation after Juventus win

Seko Fofana was Udinese’s hero as they secured a 2-1 comeback win over Juventus on Thursday to move clear of the Serie A relegation zone.

Maurizio Sarri’s team went into the encounter at Stadio Friuli needing a victory over the Little Zebra to clinch their ninth successive Italian topflight title.

Three minutes into the half time break, Matthijs de Ligt put Bianconeri ahead after controlling William Troost-Ekong’s headed clearance before firing past goalkeeper Juan Musso.

Nevertheless, the hosts fought back like a wounded lion to seal all points at stake.
