Brescia had taken the early lead on Mario Balotelli’s debut, but a Chancellor own goal and Miralem Pjanic volley turned it around for Juventus.
Match Reports
Champions Juventus moved top of Serie A despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo after Miralem Pjanic's second-half strike saw them come from behind to beat Brescia 2-1 on Tuesday.
A fourth-minute strike from Alfredo Donnarumma handed Brescia, who gave a debut to Mario Balotelli, an early advantage.
Maurizio Sarri's team levelled shortly before the interval courtesy of Jhon Chancellor's own goal before Pjanic's stunning strike just after the hour mark.
The victory sees Juve leapfrog Inter at the Serie A summit as they continued their unbeaten start - and the result was all the more impressive given they did so without star man Ronaldo, who was left out as a precautionary measure with an adductor problem.
Match Events
4' GOAL! Brescia 1-0 Juventus (Donnarumma)
BRESCIA ARE AHEAD! The home side have started brightly and work the ball upfield really well down the left. Tonali puts it into the middle and Romulo touches it onto Donnarumma who takes a touch before firing his shot past Szczesny and into the back of the net. 1-0 Brescia!
19' Injured Danilo subbed off, Cuadrado on
Danilo seems to have picked up an injury and he's gone across to tell the bench he can't carry on. Cuadrado quickly gets ready and he's on to replace the right-back.
40' OWN GOAL! Brescia 1-1 Juventus (Chancellor)
JUVENTUS ARE LEVEL! Cuadrado whips a corner into the six-yard box and none of the Juventus players get to it at the near post. It hits Chancellor in the middle and the keeper can't do anything to stop the ball from hitting the back of the net. 1-1!
54' MISS! Higuain's shot saved
GREAT SAVE BY JORONEN! Dybala holds the ball up really well on the edge of the box before laying it off to Higuain. He's one-on-one with the keeper when he hits his shot and Joronen makes a great save to deny him.
56' CLOSE! Rabiot's shot cleared off
63' GOAL! Brescia 1-2 Juventus (Pjanic)
PJANIC PUTS JUVENTUS AHEAD! His original effort from the free-kick is straight against the wall, but the rebound falls to him and this time he picks out the bottom left corner with his low, drilled effort. 2-1 Juventus!

Today, Higuain would have come second even if he ran alone.

higuain is seriously beyond uselessness! he really must have been offering something more something extra to sarri to still make place in team, specially in starting 11. saari should have substituted higuain instead of dybala. DYBALA was true class today. ramsay and rabiout played really good really really good but DYBALA was one step ahead of all.

Useless Higuain should be sold in January and Juventus need a great goal scorer as well .Rabiot should go back to French league because the way he’s playing, seems so stupid. He better change his game and be dead serious or he should get ready to sit on the bench always. Sami is too old for full games , he should be used wisely. Forget about selling Dybala because he’s absolutely awesome 👏. The goalkeeper lacks confidence. Danilo shouldn’t be here selling cancelo and Spinazzola was some of the dumbest decisions by the new TD . Fire the TD or else .. things will go bad .

still not convinced with this Juve!very slow in tempo,too many horizontal passes instead of going forward,most of time Dybala going forward explosively and find himself alone with no one to pass the ball to.This was easy match but as usual juve doesnt finish off matches,they always made every match look tricky to them for their sleepy play!At least Rabiot,Ramsey,Sandro,Pjanic,Bernadeschi played good but i dont know why Sarri prefer Higuain!Maybe someone should go and land a heavy punch in this old man face telling him Higuain us a garbage!

Juventus seem to be struggling at every level: Defense: The once imperious defense is leaking goals. Midfield: It can't seem to impose it authority on games. Difficult organizing a coordinated press. Attack: Nothing without Ronaldo Conclusion: It is not Sarriball but messyball

inter is the favorite to win league this season but for juventus struggle continues with sarri, Higuain and khedira. Ronaldo has made a big mistake by joining this useless team
