​Juventus centre-back Leonardo Bonucci has thanked Lazio fans for dedicating a song to his son Matteo on Sunday.





The youngster was suffering from an unknown illness, but appears to have now recovered.





And Bonucci has paid tribute to the Lazio fans after Juve ran out 2-0 winners, keeping their place at the top of the Serie A standings.





"Thanks to the Lazio fans for the song at the end. Respect and honor to you," he wrote on his Instagram page.

Bonucci also commented on Juve's return to winning ways in the Instagram post, having been beaten by Fiorentina in their previous fixture.





"This is the very soul of Juve. It does not matter how, it doesn’t matter who. What counts is how we take to the field.

"That we play as eleven in both halves. A spirit of struggle, sacrifice and availability. The road is this. Now full speed ahead." ​​





Bonucci has been part of a back three that have conceded just 16 goals in 20 games so far this season, although Juventus are not as dominant as they have been in recent seasons.





Roma are just one point behind, and Napoli four points, but the Bianconeri have a game in hand on both.
