Samuel Iling Junior opened the deadlock for Juventus, scoring his first Sere A goal during what was a fairytale full debut for the club, to help his side beat Atalanta 2-0 on Sunday.
Atalanta battled hard to come back in the second half, and while they did look like they could nick a late equaliser, they failed to convert their chances, with Dusan Vlahovic scoring in the seventh minute of injury time to seal the win for the Old Lady.
After a cagey first half, it took nearly an hour of play for the first goal to come. But it was a special moment for the young English prospect, who netted his first Serie A goal.
Battling hard to win the ball in the middle of the park, the 19-year-old fed the ball through to the Adrien Rabiot on the left wing, who played a fast cross into the box that bounced off several players before falling to the young English star, who tapped in to give the away side the lead.
