Kenan Yildiz fired Juventus back from two goals down to draw 4-4 in an incredible clash at Inter Milan on Sunday, which allowed Napoli to extend their Serie A lead to four points. Turkey starlet Yildiz came off the bench with around half an hour left at a packed and pulsating San Siro and brought third-placed Juve back from the dead with two superb finishes in the final 20 minutes. The 19-year-old stunned the more than 70,000 home fans who were convinced that they were watching their team make a Scudetto statement when Denzel Dumfries rolled home what looked like Inter's decisive fourth goal in the 53rd minute.
"Today I was really happy to score my first goal and second goal, also against a big team like Inter. I hope to continue like this," Yildiz told DAZN, adding that he has faith in Juve's title chances.
"We hope always, but the season is still long, we want to give our best and I hope at the end that it's going to be good."
And although both teams lost ground on Napoli it will be champions Inter, in second, who will most feel the sting of Sunday's draw after missing a clutch of chances following Dumfries' strike.
Inter were two ahead thanks to a beautiful strike from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and two Piotr Zielinski penalties, all in the first half, before Dumfries' low finish.
Inter's 'lesson'
They went close to sealing the points through Federico Dimarco, Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez but got caught twice on the break by Yildiz, whose double was also his first goals of the season.
"We deserved to score seven or eight goals against a team which had conceded one in eight games," said Inzaghi.
"You can't concede four goals from four shots on target... It'll serve as a lesson for us."
