Parma 1-0 Juventus: Pellegrino dents visitors’ top-four hopes

Juventus missed the chance to return to fourth place in the Serie A after a 1-0 defeat by humble Parma.

Mateo Pellegrino scored the only goal in Stadio Ennio Tardini, where the hosts illuminated their relegation fears by moving six points from the bottom three.

A boring first half burst into life in a stop time, when Pellegrino met Emanuele Valeri's looping cross to bury a header past Michele di Gregorio.

The chances were also limited after the break, with both struggling to create many real opportunities in attacks.

Juve urged an equalizer towards the end and Francisco Conukicao drilled closely wide in the stopping, while the Bianconeri suffered their first defeat under Igor Tudor.
