22 January 2019
Juve successfully negotiated their first Serie A match of 2019 with a convincing 3-0 win over Chievo Verona on Monday night, thus restoring their nine-point leader over second-placed Napoli, who beat Lazio on Sunday.
Below are the main match stats.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Juve have won their first Serie A game of the calendar year on 50 occasions, more than any other side in the history of the competition.
FIFTY-SIX AND COUNTING
Juventus have racked up 56 points so far this season. That’s an all-time record after 20 Serie A matches.
PERFECT PAULO!
Paulo Dybala chipped in with two assists against Chievo, the second of which came after a lovely run from the forward. Dybala also provided an assist in Juve’s last Serie A game, meaning he’s played an active role in three goals in his last two league games.
DANIELE AND ALLIANZ STADIUM
Four of Daniele Rugani’s five Serie A goals have been scored at Allianz Stadium.
TWENTY-EIGHT PASSES
Emre Can’s goal came after a string of 28 passes. No team has completed as many passes in the build-up to a goal this Serie A season.
100° presenza in Serie A per Wojciech Szczesny. Festeggiata come meglio non avrebbe potuto: parando un calcio di rigore decisivo.
