Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is thrilled with his team’s current string of form but believes that despite a 2-0 victory over rivals Lazio, the Scudetto is far from won.

Goals from Carlos Tevez and Leonardo Bonucci saw Juventus dispose of Lazio 2-0 in Serie A on Saturday night, with the win moving them 15 points clear at the top of the table and closer to a fourth consecutive title; though Allegri doesn’t want to celebrate yet.

“It was important to beat Lazio, we played with maturity against as side that plays the best football in Italy, and it means that it’s easier for us to finish first,” Allegri told Sky Sport Italia

“But until we are mathematically champions of Italy we have to give our best in every game.

“I think if we can win the next two or three games then we will be the champions.”

The 47-year-old Italian still believes his team has time to grow, and congratulated the players who have stepped up in order to replace injured team-mates as well as moving forward to focus on the Champions League.

“Players like [Arturo] Vidal and [Roberto] Pereyra are playing every game now. Vidal has improved a lot as he has started to defend well instead of just chasing players.

“I am happy with the result. Today we played a little hasty and I think we need to do improve for when we play Monaco.”
