Serie A result - Alvaro Morata strike gives unconvincing Juventus slender victory over Spezia

Alvaro Morata's first-half strike was enough to give Juventus victory against Spezia despite an unconvincing display in their Serie A clash. The only goal of the game came after 21 minutes when Dusan Vlahovic stole the ball just outside the penalty area and flicked a pass to Manuel Locatelli who immediately played the ball on to Morata in the left hand side of the area, and the Spaniard finished with aplomb.
