Juventus fall to injury-time defeat

Published on: 27 October 2021

Maxime Lopez ran in behind the Juventus defence to chip Sassuolo to a historic win

Juventus fell to their third Serie A defeat of the season as Maxime Lopez's injury-time strike gave Sassuolo a memorable win.

The mid-table visitors led when Davide Frattesi ran onto's Gregoire Defrel through ball to finish.

Weston McKennie looked to have rescued a point for Juventus with a header from Paulo Dybala's deep free-kick.

But Lopez ran onto Domenico Berardi's brilliant crossfield ball and chipped Mattia Perin with almost the last kick.

Elsewhere, defending champions Inter Milan - in third place - won 2-0 at Empoli thanks to goals from Danilo D'Ambrosio and Federico Dimarco.

Jose Mourinho's Roma, who are fourth, came from behind to triumph 2-1 at bottom club Cagliari and end a three-game winless run.

For Sassuolo, it was their first Serie A victory at Juventus at their ninth attempt.

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri - in his second spell in charge - became only the third man to manage the club in 200 Serie A games, after Giovanni Trapattoni and Marcello Lippi.

But his side are seventh in the table and 13 points behind leaders AC Milan.

This is only the second time since 1996 they have lost three of their opening 10 games. They lost four in 2015-16 - but still went on to win the title.
