Most Juventus fans left the Allianz Stadium in the closing minutes of their 3-0 home defeat to Lazio, while the travelling Biancocelesti supporters celebrated in a packed away end, despite boycotting home matches in protest.

Juventus suffered a 3-0 home loss to Lazio on Sunday night, their second defeat in the last five Serie A rounds.

The Allianz Stadium was sold out, but almost all Bianconeri supporters left the stands in the dying minutes with Lazio leading 3-0. Those who remained inside loudly booed the team at full-time, while Lazio players celebrated in front of a packed away end.

Lazio players are not used to celebrating with their fans, as Biancocelesti ultras and most ordinary supporters have boycotted home games since the end of last season.

Lazio have averaged barely 9,000 fans at home since the start of the current campaign, but have sold out the away end for each of their four away games.

The home boycott stems from a protest against owner Claudio Lotito, as fans hope the loss of matchday income will persuade him to sell the club to a more ambitious owner.

Nevertheless, the Bianconcelesti, led by Gennaro Gattuso, have won six Serie A matches and drawn one so far, and top the Serie A table alongside Inter with 19 points.
