Defiant Allegri insists Juventus still in the hunt

The Serie A title race is far from over, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said after a first-half opener by Chinese Super League target Nikola Kalinic paved the way for Fiorentina's 2-1 victory over the champion on Sunday.

Juventus traveled to Florence looking for its fifth straight win since a 3-1 loss at Genoa at the end of November.

But not for the first time this season, the Turin giant was exposed by a committed, battling performance by a host side.
