Juventus racked up their seventh straight league win on Saturday evening, despite giving Napoli a head start in the contest. The Bianconeri made a hesitant start to the match and fell behind to an early goal from Dries Mertens, but showed their true quality as they turned the match on its head to emerge 3-1 winners. “They started well – we made a mistake playing the ball out and they punished us for that. But we kept our concentration for the full 95 minutes and not many teams can do that,” Alex Sandro said following the game.
He added: “This was a six-pointer and we put in a great display. We need to keep going like this, improving in defence and retaining our focus. “Cristiano Ronaldo had a splendid game – we should really credit him for that. He took us up another level. He works every day to improve himself and we’re doing the same.”
