Cristiano Ronaldo scored for the 10th consecutive Serie A game for Juventus on Saturday but could not prevent the Italian champions from slipping to a surprise 2-1 defeat at Hellas Verona.

An eventful first half saw the visitors twice denied by the woodwork. Douglas Costa had a fierce shot tipped on to the crossbar by goalkeeper Marco Silvestri, while Ronaldo curled an effort against the post.

Verona also went close and had a goal ruled out for offside. Miguel Veloso's free-kick was headed past Wojciech Szczesny by Marash Kumbulla but was ruled out for a marginal offside by VAR.
