Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri believes his side’s stunning late win at Inter Milan could be a decisive result in the Serie A title race.
Juve looked set for back-to-back league defeats for the first time since August 2015 when 10-man Inter overturned Douglas Costa’s opener through a Mauro Icardi effort and Andrea Barzagli’s own goal.
But Juan Cuadrado levelled in the 87th minute and then Gonzalo Higuain won it for Allegri’s men two minutes later to move four points clear of Napoli.
“It was a wonderful evening of football between two teams who needed to win and went all out,” Allegri told Sky Italia.
“Inter played well, but got tired in the end, crumbled physically and we took advantage. It’s another step towards the Scudetto, even if it remains very difficult.
“Nothing is ever certain in football. I knew it would be tough and in the final four rounds there is always more pressure than when you play in September.
“Even a side with great mental strength will have moments where they lose confidence. Fortunately, the lads have found it again and we turned it around.
“It’ll make a big difference in the Scudetto race. It is very difficult to win at San Siro and the lads put in an extraordinary performance. We know that we’ve got to win them all.”
