Wobbling Juventus needed a late strike from David Trezeguet to draw 1-1 with Lazio in Turin yesterday.
Last week Fabio Cannavaro scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time to rescue a point at Cagliari and this week it was Trezeguet who saved the league leaders after Tommaso Rocchi had given Lazio a first-half lead.
However, Juve's fifth straight draw and another win for their nearest challengers AC Milan means their lead is now down to just three points with three games remaining.
Juve maintained their press ban after the match, but Lazio coach Delio Rossi was happy to talk with waiting reporters: "Many times in football, it's details and single incidents that decide a game.
"We could've been 2-0 up, but instead we ended up a man down. Manuel Belleri was coming back from an offside position and not interfering with play.
"Ousmane Dabo felt he was robbed and took his protests too far. It was a mistake from him."
