Despite a double from Edon Zhegrova, Juventus lost on the Sassuolo pitch this Sunday evening in Serie A (3-2).

The scenario is cruel for Juve, and particularly for Edon Zhegrova who, for his 30^e appearance under the bianconero jersey, has finally found the fault for the benefit of the Turinese. Better, the Kosovar scored a double in Sassuolo. In vain…

In this fourth round of Serie A, while the Old Lady could take control of the Italian elite in the event of success, the Neroverdi won on their lawn, winners 3-2 with a final goal scored by Adzic at the end of added time (90^e+4).

Zhegrova allowed Juventus to come back twice, scoring at 82^e and 90^e+1 minutes when Sassuolo had struck at 65^e and 89^e
minutes by Esposito and Bowie. The flagship club from Turin therefore misses the mark and finds itself eighth in the standings, three lengths from the top. With his tormentor of the day now in the rearview mirror.
