Juventus have been woeful in the Champions League, but it’s five wins on the bounce in the league!

Watching Juventus this season has been a chore, but now we can at least report that there are glimpses of what their fans want to see. They beat Hellas Verona 1-0 on Thursday night to make it five Serie A wins in a row.Moise Kean got the only goal of the match at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in what’s been a lucky win. Even poor Verona threatened to take a point or three off the Bianconeri, but their finishing let them down once more – much to relief of Juve’s under-fire boss Massimiliano Allegri.Italian international Kean picked up an Adrien Rabiot pass and slotted past Lorenzo Motipo to give the Turin club the lead. It would prove the winning goal.With less than 15 minutes remaining, the hosts thought they’d been awarded a vital lifeline when Leonardo Bonucci was penalised for a clumsy challenge inside the box. However, the referee correctly overturned his original decision after reviewing the footage, allowing Juventus to comfortably see out the closing exchanges – despite a late dismissal for Alex Sandro – and secure an important victory which takes them up to third in the table.Juve are now ten points behind Serie A leaders Napoli in third, while Hellas remain rooted to the bottom of the table.SERIE A – ROUND 14TuesdayNapoli – Empoli 2-0 (0-0)/Lozano 69 pen, Zielinski 88/Spezia – Udinese 1-1 (1-1)/Reca 33 – Lovric 43/Cremonese – Milan 0-0WednesdayLecce – Atalanta 2-1 (2-1)/Baschirotto 28, Di Francesco 30 – Zapata 40/Sassuolo – Roma 0-1 (0-0)/Abraham 80/Fiorentina – Salernitana 2-1 (1-0)/Bonaventura 15, Jovic 82 – Dia 55/Inter – Bologna 6-1 (3-1)/Dzeko 26, Dimarco 36, 48, Martinez 42, Calhanoglu 59, Gosens 76 – Lykogiannis 22/Torino – Sampdoria 2-0 (1-0)/Radonjic 29, Vlasic 59/ThursdayHellas Verona – Juventus 0-1 (0-1)/Kean 60/Lazio – Monza (in progress)
