Juventus have all but win their seventh consecutive Scudetto after Napoli failed to beat Torino on Sunday afternoon.

The Bianconeri beat Bologna 3-1, despite going a goal down, and had the inspired Douglas Costa to thank for an immense second half display.

Both AC Milan and Inter bagged four goals in their matches against Hellas Verona and Udinese, with the Mastini’s relegation to Serie B now confirmed.

Elsewhere at the bottom, a vital win for Chievo over Crotone gives the Flying Donkeys renewed hope of Serie A survival, as did SPAL with a win over Benevento.

Our Team of the Week will see a 3-4-3 formation deployed. Let us know your thoughts!
