SASSUOLO VS JUVENTUS: SASSUOLO HOLDS JUVENTUS TO A 3-3 DRAW

On Wednesday Cristiano Ronaldo's run of scoring in six league games ended as jittery Juventus were held to a 3-3 draw at Sassuolo and missed the chance to go nine points clear at the top of Serie A. 


Juventus continued their march to Serie A title but in an unconvincing fashion that saw them being held to a 3-3 draw by Sassuolo on Wednesday and thus extending their winless run to three matches now. The defending champions though started in glaring style taking a 2-0 lead inside the first 12 minutes before Sassuolo drew level and eventually went a goal ahead.

Defender Danilo opened the scoring for Juventus in the sixth minute when a corner found him unmarked on the edge of the box. Gonzalo Higuain made it two six minutes later, latching on to a superb ball from Miralem Pjanic, but a shot into the top corner by Filip Djuricic in the 29th minute

 Domenico Berardi six minutes into the second half leveled with a beautiful free kick in at the near post, and Sassuolo went ahead three minutes later as Francesco Caputo stole in at the far post to steer in a wayward Berardi shot.

 Alex Sandro  produce a rare goal, meeting a 64th-minute corner with bullet header to level the scores.

"We struggle to maintain physical and mental continuity. It is difficult to understand why we have very good moments and others of passivity, It is difficult to understand, even allowing for the fact that we are meeting teams who are in extraordinary form. We have the feeling of ups and downs during the game " Sarri said.
