TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo said he had reached an agreement with Cristiano Ronaldo in the week leading up to his side's 3-1 win over Lazio on Saturday that the Portuguese would be rested.

Serie A's top goalscorer started on the bench as Juve came from behind to beat Lazio in the Juventus Stadium.

"He came from eight or nine consecutive games, we made an agreement during the week , it was already planned," Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia. Joaquin Correa's opener gave Lazio a surprise lead before goals from Adrien Rabiot and a double from Alvaro Morata helped Juve close the gap on leaders Inter Milan to six points."There was a great reaction and despite the many absences we played an excellent match. We didn't get down and that's the most important thing."
