Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara was happy to take the three points after a scratchy 1-0 victory over Udinese last night.

Fabio Grosso scored the only goal of the game to keep Juve in second-place on the table.

"We won a very difficult match and these are going to be three very important points," said Ferrara.

"It's true we struggled a little to find space, especially in the first half, but the only thing that counted tonight was to win.

"It was also positive to see Alessandro Del Piero and Momo Sissoko back in action, they helped contribute to the victory."
