STARTING XI

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Lazio started strong with a high-pressing game and initially succeeded in keeping the Bianconeri back in their own half. 

Juve had the opportunity to counter but Danilo picked up an injury in a collision with just 15 minutes on the clock. The tempo dropped a touch and Juve pushed forward. Pellegrini picked out Morata in front of the goal and the Spaniard fouled in the box- penalty. Bonucci stepped up and coolly placed it inside the post to give us the lead. First half, 1-0.

Soon after the restart, Juve had quite a few chances but the opponent goalkeeper made some good saves. After 20 minutes, Allegri brought on Moise Kean for Morata looking to make the most of some fresh legs on the break. 

With ten minutes remaining Kulusevksi hit a long pass forward for Chiesa, who was brought down in a desperate attempt by the keeper to win the ball. Bonucci stepped up once again and produced another ice-cold conversion to seal three thoroughly deserved points.
