Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic runs the length of the pitch to make last-ditch challenge

The Croatian striker put in the hard yards as his side were embroiled in a tough battle with Atalanta.

JUVENTUS REMAIN TOP of the Serie A table after a 2-0 victory over Atalanta but the Old Lady are involved in a proper battle with second-placed Napoli and their lead is only three points.

So, every game is crucial from here on.

And it seems that the players have that mentality and are prepared to dig deep for the cause.

Leading a tight game by the slenderest of margins on Sunday, their corner was well defended by Atalanta before they caught Juve on the break with a swift counter-attack.

But, leave it to Mario Mandzukic to put in the hard yards.

The Croatian striker raced from one end of the pitch to the other and ended up making a potentially-vital clearance from inside his own area.

Hard work does go a long way.
