Soccer-Juve slump to 4-1 defeat at Empoli after points deduction
Two goals by Francesco Caputo and a strike from Sebastiano Luperto made it 3-0 for Empoli just after halftime before Federico Chiesa pulled a goal back for Juve five minutes from time and Roberto Piccoli sealed Empoli's win in stoppage time.
"Summing up a season in an evening like this is an understatement," said Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri."It was a strange situation, 10 minutes before the match the sentence came out. But things went downhill from there for Juventus as Empoli were awarded a penalty for Milik's foul on Nicolo Cambiaghi and striker Caputo converted from the spot to put the hosts in front in the 18th minute.
Midfielder Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro went on a solo run and squared the ball to Caputo who made it 3-0 with a chipped finish.
