Dybala Guides Juve Past Milan
Evra was forced off in the first half of Juve’s 1-0 win over AC Milan on Saturday.
Mattia Destro came back to haunt his old side as he scored a late penalty to help Bologna draw 2-2 against title-chasing Roma in Serie A.
Four-time defending champion Juventus is sixth in Serie A, nine points behind league leader Inter Milan.
There was heightened security in Turin, which is located little more than an hour’s drive from the French border.
“We have had a couple more injuries than previous year and we’ve analysed the players who have been struck, and things are pretty clear”, Allegri said at a news conference. However, neither the stewards nor the police seemed anxious, with one policeman telling The Associated Press “it’s the ordinary in the non ordinary”. “Paradoxically, we did well defensively and should’ve done more going forward”, Mihajlovic told Sky Sport Italia.
Kucka had the first chance of the second half, getting above his marker to power a header wide, with Juve substitute Alex Sandro firing off target from Dybala’s rapid break moments later.
According to a statement on the club’s official website, the midfielder is to “train separately” all week, effectively ruling him out of Wednesday’s game at the Juventus Stadium.
It took a while for the winning goal to arrive, but it arrived in the 65th minute as Paulo Dybala controlled well in the box, before volleying past Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The visitors fought their way back into contention for the win when Miralem Pjanic, seven minutes after the restart, then Edin Dzeko struck from the spot to give the visitors a 2-1 lead with 18 minutes left on the clock.
