Juventus threw away a 2-0 lead and drew 2-2 to Chievo last night to leave their hopes of finishing in the top four hanging by a thread.

Alessandro Del Piero put the Turin giants in front at the Olympic stadium after converting from the penalty spot in the 12th minute.

Del Piero then set up Alessandro Matri for Juve’s second shortly after the restart.

Substitute Fernando Uribe reduced the deficit in the 68th minute before Gennaro Sardo levelled matters two minutes later.

Juve pair Giorgio Chiellini and substitute Luca Toni were denied by the post in the final stages of the game as Chievo held on for a vital point.

The draw assured Chievo of Serie A football next season while Juve are five points behind fourth-placed Udinese with two rounds to go.
