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!
