Worked tirelessly as he usually does from minute one onwards, while continuing the record of scoring and remaining unbeaten.

This game marks the 15th consecutive time where he has scored and Juventus have avoided defeat. The last time this feat was broken, was during their 4-1 Champions League Final defeat by Real Madrid two seasons ago.

He made no mistake from close-range after Ronaldo's excellent assist and doesn't always get the credit he deserves but has crucially justified his worth in a side that has both Cristiano and Dybala packed into the final third.

Was tenacious out of possession and proven himself a reliable attacking figure once more - that marks his seventh goal in 14 appearances (all comps) this term. Completed more tackles than anyone else across the pitch (5), three aerial duels won, two interceptions, a key pass and important winner too. Busy.
