Vucinic fires Juventus riposte

Ten-man Fiorentina scored two late penalties in a 2-2 draw at home to Milan on Sunday to dent the Rossoneri's bid for a second place finish in Italy's Serie A.
Milan took a deserved lead in the 14th minute thanks to former Viola midfielder Riccardo Montolivo and were given a further boost when Nenad Tomovic saw red on 39 minutes for an apparent elbow to the face of Stephan El Shaarawy.
The visitors doubled their lead just after the hour thanks to Frenchman Mathieu Flamini, only for Adem Ljajic and David Pizarro to score one each from the spot in the closing stages to earn a share of the points.
Milan's seventh draw of the season leaves Massimiliano Allergri's side in third, 13 points behind leaders Juventus
Earlier, striker Mirko Vucinic gave himself a timely confidence boost ahead of Juventus' Champions League clash with Bayern Munich by firing the Serie A leaders to a nervy 2-1 win over Pescara on Saturday.
The Montenegrin scored both goals, including a deft curler for his second, though they came towards the end of another inconsistent display in which he missed an open goal and decided to shoot from a tight angle when team-mate Emanuele Giaccherini was in a better position.
Vucinic, who now has nine league goals this season, at least managed to draw a smile from his manager, Antonio Conte.
Conte, usually taciturn, joked that Vucinic's
performance was so baffling he might have to drop him for Wednesday's game, when Juventus hope to overturn a 2-0 deficit in their quarter-final, second leg at home to Bayern.
"I said to him afterwards that he had a strange match. He scored two goals - imagine what he could have done if he'd played well," Conte told reporters.
