Verona 2-1 Juventus: Toni downs champion on farewell game

Verona pulled off a 2-1 surprise win over Juventus as Luca Toni scored in his last game before his retirement.

Luca Toni scored on his final professional appearance to help Verona to a 2-1 Serie A win over Juventus at the Bentegodi, ending the champion's 26-game unbeaten run.

An astonishing run of 25 wins in 26 outings had led Massimiliano Allegri's men to a fifth straight Scudetto, but they were unable to cope with the 38-year-old Toni on Sunday.

The World Cup-winning striker announced this week that he would bow out after this game and he capped it in style, opening the scoring with a cheeky penalty just before the interval.
