Allegri scathing of 'lightweight' Juventus after Genoa loss

Massimiliano Allegri slammed "lightweight" Juventus after they were out-fought by Genoa in a 3-1 defeat on Sunday.

Juventus were hoping to re-establish a seven-point lead at the top of Serie A when they made the trip to Stadio Luigi Ferraris, but were handed a reality check after going down 3-0 inside half an hour.

Giovanni Simeone - son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego - scored twice early on, before an Alex Sandro own goal left Juve with a mountain to climb.

Miralem Pjanic pulled one back late on, but the match was already out of Juve's reach and Allegri was particularly irritated by his team's inability to get to grips with Genoa's physicality.
