Juventus 1-0 Atalanta

Juventus

Simone Padoin's second-half goal ensured Juventus were able to celebrate a third successive Serie A title with victory over Atalanta.

Second-placed Roma's 4-1 defeat by Catania on Sunday had already ensured that Juve could not be caught at the top of the table.

The hosts still dominated matters against Atalanta, with Dani Osvaldo and Carlos Tevez both going close.

Padoin secured victory midway through the second half with a low finish.

Huge numbers of fans had spent Sunday celebrating on the streets of Turin and they arrived at the the Juventus Stadium determined to create a party atmosphere.

Antonio Conte and his players applauded the crowd in the build-up to kick-off, before they set about maintaining their 100% home record.

Juventus were dominant from the outset, but it was not until the 26th minute that they created their first real chance as Osvaldo's looping header forced Atalanta goalkeeper Andrea Consigli to tip the ball onto the roof of the net.

Consigli later pulled off a fine double save to deny both Fabio Quagliarella and Paul Pogba, while Tevez pounced on a rebound only to lash his shot over the bar.

However, Padoin ensured Juventus could celebrate the title win in style as he beat Atalanta's Mario Yepes to a loose ball just inside the area and drove into the net via the inside of the post.
