Overview
- Juventus scored through a Tarik Muharemovic own-goal from a Pierre Kalulu cross before Fabio Miretti netted in the 62nd minute and Jonathan David added a third a minute later after a Jay Idzes error.
- David’s finish was his first Serie A goal since the opening day, snapping a 16-match league drought after he had been criticized for a failed Panenka against Lecce.
- Pitchside audio reported by Italian media captured Juventus staff discussing substituting David for Loïs Openda moments before his decisive assist and goal.
- Coach Luciano Spalletti said the team acted as a shield for David and joined players rushing from the bench to celebrate with him at the corner flag.
- The victory keeps Juventus fourth on 36 points in a tight race, three behind leaders Inter with two games fewer, with Roma level and Como three points back with a game in hand.
