The Old Lady secured a 3-3 draw against Atalanta after a free-kick goal

A new dark age has begun in Turin, the crisis is shaking Juventus. A five goal defeat from Napoli ended their weak chances of title, then the federal court made a decision to fine the Turin club with the deduction of 15 points due to financial fraud. And tonight, in not so full stadium, they allowed Atalanta to score 3 goals (eight in the last two games) and ended up with a valuable point: Juventus-Atalanta 3-3.


Negative records and bad news are sticking to Juventus, and until the visit to Napoli, everything was so fairy-tale like. The debacle in that game was the trigger. After three decades, Juve conceded five goals in Serie A, and tonight three more. And there could have been more tonight. Atalanta's attackers tested Juve's defense a lot in a knot, and the Ivory Coast international Jeremie Boga was elusive. By changing direction, it 'broke the backs' of home team defenders and set up two goals for fellow African Ademola Lookman. The first of those two goals can be credited to Wojciech Szczesny, who played great but acted like an amateur tonight.

Juve's best player Angel Di Maria forced Atalanta to make a penalty and drew the game before Milik turned the game over with a great goal. But, the African duo didn't give up. Lookman assisted to Maehle for 2-2, before he scored the third goal with a help from Boga. But it was Di Maria again, who triced Atalanta's 'wall' after a free kick and flicked the ball to Danilo, who saved Juve from another embarrassment.
