Bianconeri surrender two-goal lead in thrilling draw

Ten-man Juventus were pegged back to 2-2 by Cesena on Saturday night to keep the pressure on manager Luigi Del Neri. Del Neri's position has come under scrutiny in recent weeks following a run of three successive defeats but Juve looked like securing a vital victory away to Cesena after establishing a 2-0 lead. Alessandro Matri grabbed both their goals inside the opening 35 minutes, before Cesena pulled one back from the penalty spot. Marco Parolo was brought down by goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and former West Ham striker Luis Jimenez stepped up to score. Juve were then reduced to ten men on the stroke of half-time when Marco Motta was sent off for a second bookable offence. The Bianconeri were not able to protect their lead after the interval as Parolo netted an equaliser in the 80th minute to salvage a point for Cesena. The result leaves Cesena just outside the relegation zone, while Juve remain seventh.
