MILAN, Jan 7: Jonathan David repaid coach Luciano Spalletti’s faith in him with a goal and an assist to help Juventus to a 3-0 win at Sassuolo in Serie A on Tuesday. That saw fourth-place Juventus remain level on points with Roma after the capital side won 2-0 at relegation-threatened Lecce. Juventus and Roma are three points below Serie A leader Inter Milan.
David had come under fire after his penalty was saved in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home with Lecce.
However, he kept his place in the starting lineup and was crucial in securing the result in the second half after an own goal from Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic. (AP)
