Serie A: Dusan Vlahovic's Goals Lead Juventus to Second Consecutive Victory

Dusan Vlahovic's impressive brace helped Juventus secure a comfortable 3-0 win against Verona, continuing their perfect start to the Serie A season. Thiago Motta's team, who began the season with a dominant 3-0 victory over Como, are the only team with a flawless record after two matches and currently sit at the top of the table. Juventus is determined to challenge for their first Scudetto since the 2019/20 season. Motta has taken on the role of head coach following Massimiliano Allegri's departure after a controversial outburst following their Italian Cup final triumph in May.

Juve slipped away last season to come third in Serie A, although that was their highest finish in four years.

Vlahovic gave The Old Lady the lead at Verona just before the half-hour.

Nicolo Savona, a 21-year-old defender making his full debut for the club, headed home Juve's second goal before half-time from Samuel Mbangula's cross.

Belgian Mbangula now has a goal and two assists in his first two games for the senior team since being promoted from the youth ranks.

Vlahovic made the points safe with a penalty just eight minutes into the second period.

"He is certainly working hard on our aggression and our attitude," Vlahovic told DAZN of new boss Motta.

"We all agree that our attitude is the key to everything, if we have the right mentality, it all works better.

"We play for each other, but also there are tactical changes that we know about."

Juventus will likely face their biggest test of the early weeks of the campaign when they host Roma on Sunday.

Earlier, Como came from behind to secure their first Serie A point since 2003 thanks to former AC Milan forward Patrick Cutrone's second-half equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Cagliari.

"I am happy, because this is a difficult place to play, but at the same time we need to improve and as soon as possible get used to the Serie A tempo," said Como coach Cesc Fabregas.
