Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara has hailed his team's 'important' victory over Udinese.

Italy international Fabio Grosso scored the only goal of the game at the weekend to help Juventus reclaim second place in the standings behind Inter.

"We won a very difficult match and these are going to be three very important points," said the Juventus coach according to football-italia.net.

"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."

Ferrara was also cheered by the return to action of Alessandro Del Piero as well as Momo Sissoko.

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