Juventus coach Max Allegri admits defeat to Fiorentina was a big "setback".

Nikola Kalinic and Milan Badelj sealed a deserved Fiorentina victory, while Gonzalo Higuain only got a late consolation goal.

“There were a lot of free kicks and cards, not that much football played," the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

“It's a bad setback for us, but we still have the chance to be four points clear and nobody thought we'd win the title in January.

“Teams play the game of a lifetime against us, such as Fiorentina and Genoa, so we must always have our energy up and give everything, because the opposition do with us.

“It's going to be a battle and we need to fight it out for every single point from here to May 28. It won't be easy."

Allegri added: “Roma and Napoli are behind us, so it'll be a fight to the end, but we must learn from this defeat. It's not enough to do less than 100 per cent, because the opposition gives more than 100 per cent against us."
