JUVENTUS HAVE ENDURED a nightmare season so far. But maybe – just maybe – last night’s result against local rivals Torino can reignite their campaign.
They headed into Saturday’s fixture having won just three times from their opening ten league games but the derby normally goes their way and so it proved.
In the last twenty years of intense battles, Torino have managed to win just once and thanks to Juan Cuadrado’s last-gasp goal, their poor record continued.
On loan from Chelsea, the Colombian scrambled the ball home deep in injury-time to hand the Old Lady a crucial 2-1 victory.
But despite Juve’s dramatic winner, the focus was centred on Paul Pogba’s opening goal.
The French midfielder conjured a moment of absolute brilliance to give Juventus a 20th-minute lead – uniquely driving to the net from distance.
