Vidal: Juventus closer to title after 'perfect' performance against Lazio

Arturo Vidal admitted that Juventus are now on the verge of clinching their fourth successive Scudetto thanks to a "perfect" performance in Saturday's 2-0 win over title rivals Lazio.

The Biancocelesti had arrived in Turin on an eight-game winning streak that had propelled them into second place in Serie A, 12 points behind their hosts.


However, Juve effectively put the game to bed by the half-hour mark thanks to early goals from Carlos Tevez and Leonardo Bonucci.

Massimiliano Allegri's men still have seven matches to play but Vidal confessed that the Scudetto is now within touching distance.

“It was a perfect display by us tonight," Vidal is quoted as saying by his club's official website. "We played an incredible game against an extremely strong side.

"It’s an important victory and our fourth successive title is edging ever closer.
"We must win our next three games before we can definitely say it’s ours."

Roma can reduce Juve's lead to 13 points if they defeat Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
