Serie A: Dusan Vlahovic Fires Juventus One Point Behind Leaders Inter Milan

23.12.2023 - 19:14 sports.ndtv.com

Dusan Vlahovic shot Juventus to within one point of Serie A leaders Inter Milan with the decisive strike in Saturday's 2-1 win at Frosinone, as Lewis Ferguson kept high-flying Bologna in the Champions League positions.

Serbia forward Vlahovic headed home the winner with nine minutes remaining at the Stadio Benito Stirpe after Jaime Baez had equalised for the hosts following Kenan Yildiz's opener early in his first Juve start.

Massimiliano Allegri's side now await the result of Inter's home clash with Lecce, which Inter have to face without injured star striker Lautaro Martinez and Italy left-back Federico Dimarco.

Vlahovic, who has had a tricky season, is on six league goals and was unlucky to end the match without a brace when his precision 89th-minute strike was ruled out for offside. "There was the desire to win, to help the team and make the fans happy in that goal," Vlahovic told DAZN. "A striker is obviously not happy when they don't score, or not consistently, but I work hard every day to give something to the team." Teen starlet Yildiz become Juve's youngest ever foreign Serie A goalscorer with his stunning near-post finish, which came after he weaved his way past three defenders.
