Alessandro Matri scored either side of Antonio Floro Flores equalizer to help unbeaten leader Juventus move four points clear of second-placed AC Milan, which faces Cagliari on Sunday. Udinese was two points further back and could be caught by Inter Milan, which visits Lecce. "I was worried a lot about this game because Udinese is a team which plays very interesting football and has a lot of talented players who make up a great team," Juve coach Antonio Conte said. "Towards the end we were obviously tired after the Italian Cup, but we controlled the game well and got an important win. However, today we lost too many balls in midfield and so gave Udinese too much space to counterattack." Earlier, Catania was held to 1-1 by Parma, a result which did neither team any favours in the standings. Gonzalo Bergessio gave Catania a deserved lead shortly after the half-hour mark, but Francesco Modesto levelled 10 minutes later. Parma was nine points above the relegation zone. Catania was a point further back. With heavy snowfall in Turin, Juventus started brightly and could have been in front as early as the second minute. Arturo Vidal sent a long ball over the top of the Udinese defence to Marcelo Estigarribia, who raced clear through on goal but Udineses Samir Handanovic -- recently voted last years top goalkeeper -- did well to race out and block the danger. Juventus counterpart Gianluigi Buffon did even better in the 15th minute as first he fingertipped Almen Abdis snapshot over the crossbar then pulled off an even more impressive save from the ensuing corner as, at full stretch, he tipped Pablo Armeros fierce volley from just outside the area around his right post. Udinese had conceded just 14 goals in the league going into the game and Handanovic again proved his worth when he raced out of his area to block Matris shot at point-blank range. However, Matri did score in the 42nd. Estigarribia picked out Fabio Quagliarella in the area and although his header was well saved by Handanovic, it rebounded straight to Matri who tapped it in from close range. Udinese almost levelled eight minutes into the second half when the leagues joint topscorer Antonio Di Natale unleashed a wicked 25-yard shot which brushed the outside of the left upright. The visiting side did equalize two minutes later as Mauricio Isla raced half the length of the pitch before slotting the ball across the edge of the area to Floro Flores, who controlled it with one touch and fired into the bottom right corner. And Udinese came close to taking the lead four minutes later but, under pressure from two Juve defenders, Di Natale blazed over the bar from point-blank range. Matri scored a stunning winner in the 62nd. He controlled Claudio Marchisios pass well before turning Udinese defender Damiano Ferronetti and slotting it into the far corner. "You can never be happy with a defeat," Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin said. "My boys gave everything and I cant reproach them for anything. But I know that the team can do more, today we had chances to draw level and even to go in front, its a pity. "We made mistakes in the last five minutes of the first half when we were too flat in defence." There was a minutes silence before the Catania game and the home players wore black armbands following the death of former club president Ignazio Marcoccio. Catania, playing its first game without topscorer Maxi Lopez after his loan move to AC Milan, started brightly and took the lead in the 33rd. A long ball by captain Marco Biagianti released Bergessio, who raced clear of chasing Parma defenders Alessandro Lucarelli and Goncalo Brandao, before rounding Nicola Pavarini and drilling it into the far corner. Parma should have levelled when Sergio Floccari headed a good cross from Francesco Valiani off the post, but it equalized seconds later. Sebastian Giovincos cross was headed out but only as far as the onrushing Modesto who fired into the bottom right corner. Parma should have won the game in the final minute. Stefano Okaka was sent clear by Daniele Galloppa, but the on-loan Roma striker sent a cross-goal shot inches wide of the right upright. Cheap San Diego Chargers Jersey . Club chairman Rob Veenstra said the 47-year-old Van Basten signed a two-year contract to return to coaching after a three-year absence. Financial details were not revealed. "This is an ambitious club that wants to play at a higher level, but is also realistic," Van Basten said.

Chris Bosh acknowledged he needs to do more and lobbied to get more opportunities.WINNIPEG -- Captain Andrew Ladd was the first to criticize himself after a 6-3 loss to Columbus on Saturday that had fans booing the Winnipeg Jets off the ice. "Ill take full responsibility for my play. I was awful tonight," Ladd said. "For a team struggling, probably looking for leaders, I wasnt very good so I need to be a lot better and I will be going forward." The loss put the Jets (19-23-5) on a season-high five-game losing streak after the Blue Jackets capitalized on Winnipeg mistakes and breakdowns -- some head coach Claude Noel said hed never seen this season. "Its not easy right now. I mean, its tough to stay positive," said Jets centre Bryan Little, who had a goal and assist. "Its kind of hurting everyones confidence right now. You know, the fans get on you. I mean, its not easy. Its a difficult time that were trying to get through." Boone Jenner and Mark Letestu each scored twice as the Blue Jackets had four straight goals in the first nine minutes of the second period. Cam Atkinson and Nick Foligno also scored, while Curtis McElhinney made 28 saves as Columbus (21-20-4) won its third straight game. "We believe in ourselves in here and we know when we play the way that we can, things will go our way and weve just got to keep focused on that," Jenner said. James Wisniewski and Derek MacKenzie each had a pair of assists for Columbus. Ondrej Pavelec faced 26 shots for Winnipeg, which also got goals from Eric ODell, his first NHL goal, and Toby Enstrom. "Right now, adversity is really the enemy and were not dealing with it very well, and were trying to deal with it," Noel said. "Theres going to be no easy way to get out of it." The second period was especially puzzling. "The game certainly unravelled in the second period on mistakes that were stuff that Ive never seen before," Noel said. Columbus head coach Todd Richards said he talked to his players after the disappointing opening 20 minutes. "Once we talked about things after the first period, obviously our focus and our attitude changed and we came out and started skating, pursuing pucks," Richards said. "We were willing to do the work, we werent waiting for our teammate to do the work. I think each guy took it upon themselves, that this is what I nneed to do. Cheap Cleveland Browns Jerseys. . I need to skate and work." The Blue Jackets second-period barrage began with Letestus short-handed goal. Just nine seconds after Blue Jackets centre Brandon Dubinsky was called for holding 27 seconds into the period, MacKenzie and Letestu went on a 2-on-1 and Letestu deked and put a backhand shot past Pavelec. On that play, Noel noted there was an offensive-zone faceoff, his players decided to forecheck, didnt lock the centre and gave up a 2-on-1. "Weve never done that before. Weve never talked about that before. What is that? I dont know," Noel said. "Its not because they dont care. Lets make sure that thats clear. Theyre frustrated, too." When told of Ladds self-criticism, Noel said the captain places a lot of burden on himself, like leaders do, and hes got to try to help him. ODell scored at 4:32 of the first period during a goal-mouth scramble when he banged in the puck with a backhand while McElhinney was out near the edge of the crease. Recalled from the AHLs St. Johns IceCaps on Dec. 17, ODell was replacing Evander Kane (hand injury) on the Jets second line with centre Mark Scheifele and right-winger Michael Frolik. It was one of a number of roster changes for Winnipeg. Noel had big defenceman Dustin Byfuglien playing right-wing for the first time this season on the top line with Little and Ladd. That moved Blake Wheeler to the third line with centre Olli Jokinen and left-winger Devin Setoguchi. Noel said Byfuglien, who had an assist, played OK, and he liked that the fans cheered Byfuglien when he touched the puck early. Little said it was tough for the new line combinations to click because penalties shuffled players around, too. While hes faced adversity in his career, it was different in Atlanta than in Winnipeg. "Its definitely magnified when youre in Winnipeg," Little said. "Ive had some tough times in Atlanta where no one seems to care. No ones asking you questions, its not in the papers and people arent in the room after games. "So its definitely more pressure right now to get out of this." Notes -- The last time the Jets lost at least four in a row was late last season from March 28 to April 4, when they went 0-5-0 over that stretch a Letestus short-handed goal was the sixth one allowed by the Jets this season.
