Goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa put Juventus two goals up after just a quarter of the game.

Juventus looked in control after the break but an error by Bremer at the back allowed Luis Alberto to pull a goal back for Lazio. Nevertheless, a wonderful cross-field pass by Weston McKennie, brought down expertly by Vlahovic, saw Juve go 3-1 up. The Serbian looked back at his best here and was the star performer in what was an excellent display by the Old Lady. Check out our full match recap here. Let’s get into our Juventus ratings vs Lazio.

Juventus: (3-5-2)

Wojciech Szczesny – 6.5

Tipped the ball over the bar after a decent effort by Daichi Kamada in the first half. Didn’t have much to do here throughout and couldn’t do much to stop Alberto’s goal.

Federico Gatti – 7

Wasn’t troubled much and looked fairly composed here. Won his duels well throughout.

Bremer – 6.5

Gave the ball away cheaply for Alberto’s goal with a hospital pass, allowing Lazio back into the game. Won a couple of tackles and looked fairly solid overall.

Danilo – 7

Fairly accurate in possession and wasn’t troubled much. Did his job when called upon and made a number of interceptions.

Weston McKennie – 8

Deployed over on the right-hand side as a wing-back and showed some nice work down the flank in the build up to Vlahovic’s first goal. Was involved in the second and third goals too. Played a fantastic long ball into Vlahovic as the Old Lady restored their two-goal lead. Excellent display.

Fabio Miretti – 6.5

Booked early on for a late challenge on Mattia Zaccagni. Came close with a curling effort around the half hour mark but just missed the post. Steady performance.

Manuel Locatelli – 8

Supplied a superb first-time cross into Vlahovic for the opening goal. Influential in Chiesa’s goal too. Effective playing in the centre of the midfield three and played some fantastic balls forward. Made Juve tick.

Adrien Rabiot – 7.5

Assisted Chiesa’s goal with a simple layoff. Came close to finding a goal himself but his close range header was denied by Provedel. Worked hard in the midfield.

Filip Kostic – 6.5

Tested Ivan Provedel early on with a good left-footed strike across goal but the Lazio ‘keeper made a good stop. Subbed off just before the hour mark but put in a solid display.

Dusan Vlahovic – 9

Opened the scoring with a wonderful finish, wrapping his foot around the ball to fire it past Provedel. Superb finish by the Serbia international. Looked on good form and held the ball up well, particularly for Juve’s third. Another incredible finish for his second too. Back to his best.

Federico Chiesa – 7.5

Looked sharp and showed good intensity from the start. Put Juventus two up midway through the first half with a weaker left-footed strike at the near post.

Substitutions

Andrea Cambiasso – N/A

Nicolo Fagioli – 6.5

Didn’t give the ball away when he came on and created a couple of chances.

Agonizingly came close to his first competitive goal for Juventus but couldn’t find the target from close range.

Moise Kean – N/A

Good play in the lead up to the chance for Weah.
