Juventus coach Antonio Conte says they're a step closer to realising their title dream after victory over Novara.

Juve remain three points clear at the top of the table.

"It wasn't easy today, as Novara beat Lazio three days ago and today they really wanted to trip us up," he said of their 4-0 victory at the Stadio Piola.

"We are in good shape and anyone who saw the game witnessed a Juventus team that plays with intensity.

"We can make calculations too and we are closing in on the Scudetto in the right way, though we know Milan are great antagonists. The important thing is that our destiny is in our hands."
