The Bianconeri defeated the relegation contenders 2-0 to reclaim the top spot in the Italian top flight. Quagliarella was awarded with a rare start and he scored the final goal of the match, finding the back of the net after a year for Juve.
Juventus welcomed the lowly Novara last night to Juventus Arena, Turin, in a Serie A fixture and ran out 2-0 winners, thus returning to the top of the table. Juve have now extended their unbeaten streak to 15 games and are firm favourites to win the title
after years of underachievement.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Simone-Pepe-c33591 gave Juve the early breakthrough in the 4th minute, scoring the first goal. The Old Lady created many great chances to extend their lead but the players failed to utilize on the opportunities. Pepe missed his chance to score a brace
while the Captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Del-Piero-c4726, failed to score twice.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-Quagliarella-c13194, who has struggled to make it to the first team after struggling with injuries, scored his first goal in a year for the Bianconeri and fortified the lead that stayed until the closing minutes of the game.
The Italian international was happy with his performance and referred to it as “icing on the cake” after getting to feature in the Juve XI.
While talking to the media, Quagliarella said:
“It took me 364 days to get back here and play a match at my level. I am happy, but also have to point out that I worked hard to achieve this performance. I really wanted it. I tried with everything I had to put myself at the disposal of the team and do
what the Coach asked of me. I think I did my duty and the goal was the icing on the cake.”
Juve are now ambitious to stay unbeaten in the Serie A for this year as they approach the last clash of the year against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Udinese-Calcio-c40789 at Stadio Friuli. Juve currently are the league leaders with 33 points, 2 points ahead of defending champions, AC Milan,
and Udinese.
