(Reuters) - Juventus may be in turmoil off the pitch but they are slowly clawing their way back into the Serie A title race, which has opened up after leaders Napoli suffered their first defeat of the season this week.

When all eyes were on the World Cup in Qatar, Italian prosecutors were looking into the Italian club over alleged irregularities linked to player transfers and wages, leading to Juve's board resigning in November.

But Wednesday's 1-0 win at Cremonese, which Allegri described as"another little step", extended their winning streak to seven games - without conceding a goal - in the league where Juve sit third, seven points off top spot. "Some important young players have come through and I would say we should be happy. There is work to be done," Allegri said as Juve look ahead to a home game with eighth-placed Udinese on Saturday.Napoli became the last team in Europe's top five leagues to lose a game this season as they fell 1-0 away to Inter Milan, who did their second-placed neighbours AC Milan a favour as the lead at the top was cut to five points.
