Juventus beat Manchester City in the Champions League last week but had drawn four straight league matches and was booed off the field after a dismal draw at home to bottom club Venezia on Saturday.

Juventus survived an early scare from Cagliari and broke the deadlock on the stroke of halftime. Kenan Yildiz found Dusan Vlahovic in the center of the area with a delightful pass and, although he was closed down by four players, the Bianconeri forward managed to turn on the spot and fire in off the inside of the right post.
