Juve celebrates in style
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 05 - 2016

Juventus celebrated its fifth straight Serie A title in style with a 5-0 thrashing of 10-man Sampdoria Saturday.

There was a party atmosphere at the Juventus Stadium as Massimiliano Allegri's team was presented with the trophy after the match.

Juventus took an early lead when Patrice Evra headed in Paulo Dybala's free kick in the fifth minute.

It swiftly went from bad to worse for Sampdoria, which had Martin Skriniar sent off in the 12th minute for bringing down Mario Mandzukic. Dybala converted the resulting penalty and doubled his tally shortly before halftime.

Giorgio Chiellini, who was making his first start since April 2, and Leonardo Bonucci capped the win.

Napoli hosts Frosinone and Roma visits AC Milan later in the fight for second spot.
Stuttgart relegated, late winner rescues Werder
Former Bundesliga champion VfB Stuttgart was relegated for the first time in 41 years after losing 3-1 at VfL Wolfsburg in the top flight season finale Saturday.

Werder Bremen needed an 88th-minute goal by Papy Djilobodji to beat visiting relegation rival Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 and keep its spot in the Bundesliga, with its opponent going into a playoff against Nuremberg, third in the second division.

Stuttgart, which needed a win to have a chance at earning the playoff place, quickly fell two goals behind in the first half. Daniel Didavi's 78th-minute goal gave it a glimmer of hope but Andre Schuerrle sealed Wolfsburg's win in the final minute.

Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski took the honors as the league's top scorer with 30 goals after netting in the champion's 3-1 victory over already-relegated Hanover 96.

The Poland striker is the first player to score at least 30 goals in a season since Dieter Mueller in 1977 and became the first foreign Bundesliga top scorer to net 30 times or more as he won the title for the second time in three seasons.

Borussia Moenchengladbach sealed fourth place with a 2-0 win at Darmstadt 98 and will go into the Champions League playoffs.

Borussia Dortmund, in second place on 78 points, 10 behind Bayern, managed a 2-2 draw at home to Cologne as it prepares to face the Bavarians in the German Cup final on May 21.

Bayer Leverkusen, which secured third place weeks ago, rounded off the season with a 3-2 comeback win over visitor Ingolstadt.

Schalke 04, which announced just before its game that coach Andre Breitenreiter would be sacked at the end of the season, crushed Hoffenheim 4-1 away to clinch a Europa League spot.

Mainz 05 battled to a 0-0 draw at Hertha Berlin to finish sixth and snatch the last automatic Europa League spot from the host, who will go into the competition's qualifying rounds.
Arsenal wins women's FA Cup
Arsenal Ladies beat London rivals Chelsea Ladies 1-0 in the final of the Women's FA Cup in front of a competition record crowd of 32,912 at Wembley Saturday.

Danielle Carter scored the only goal of the game with an excellent first-half shot as Arsenal overcame a Chelsea side which kicked off having won four successive matches in the Women's Super League.

Carter, 22, went past Hannah Blundell on the left corner of the penalty area before curling a shot beyond the reach of Chelsea goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl after 18 minutes.

Lindahl made several good saves as Arsenal failed to get the second goal that would have helped put the result beyond doubt.

Chelsea had a number of chances to equalize and their best opportunity of the second half came with 20 minutes left when South Korean midfielder Ji So-Yun shot narrowly wide.
