Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus Clinch 2019 Serie A Title Via Fiorentina Own Goal

Cristiano Ronaldo helped Juventus win an eighth Serie A title in a row after his cross was turned into an own goal by Fiorentina centre-back German Pezzella, as the Bianconeri won 2-1 at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors had gone in front after just six minutes thanks to Nikola Milenkovic, but Alex Sandro headed in an equaliser before the break. It took just eight minutes after the restart for Ronaldo to force Pezzella's decisive mistake.

Juve's victory gives them an unassailable 20-point lead over nearest rivals Napoli, enough to prompt another round of title celebrations in Turin.
