Juventus scored two late goals to make it six Serie A wins in a row and boost their title hopes with victory over fellow contenders Fiorentina.

Juventus celebrate

The visitors led through Josip Ilicic's third-minute penalty but on-loan Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado equalised for the champions with a header.
Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala scored in the final 10 minutes to take Juventus fourth - six points off top.

Second-placed Fiorentina are four points behind leaders Inter Milan.
The drama began early when Giorgio Chiellini was penalised controversially for tripping Federico Bernardeschi and Ilicic converted the penalty.
But the home side were level just three minutes later when Cuadrado's header looped over goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu.


Juventus went ahead in the 80th minute when Mandzukic pounced on a rebound and found the roof of the net after Tatarusanu could only parry Dybala's shot.
Dybala completed the scoring with a cool finish in the first minute of added time.
Leaders Inter 4-0 at Udinese on Saturday. Roma drop to fifth behind Juventus after drawing 0-0 at third-placed Napoli.
