Juventus seal Scudetto glory

Juventus tonight won their first Serie A crown since 2003 as a Diego Milito hat-trick sunk title rivals AC Milan. Juve beat Cagliari 2-0, while Milan went down 4-2 to city rivals Inter in a thrilling San Siro derby.

The results left the Turin side four points ahead of i Rossoneri with one game of the season to go. It was Juve’s first Scudetto since returning to the top flight of Italian football following the Calciopoli match-fixing scandal.

The unbeaten leaders went into the penultimate round of fixtures with a one-point advantage over Milan and duly saw off Cagliari in Trieste. Mirko Vucinic opened the scoring with a neat finish in the sixth minute and the points were sealed when substitute Marco Borriello netted in the 71st minute, three minutes after coming on.

Events at the San Siro were far more dramatic as Milan fought back from conceding an early goal to Milito to lead 2-1 early in the second half thanks to a brace from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede levelled with a penalty a minute before the break, which replays showed should not have been awarded, and netted again a minute after the restart.

But Milito got his second from the spot in the 52nd minute and the referee gave a third penalty ten minutes from time which the Argentinian converted to complete his hat-trick. Needing to win to take the title race to the final day because of their inferior head-to-head record with Juve, Milan knew the game was up and Maicon compounded their misery when he lashed home a superb fourth in the 87th minute.
