Juventus 3-1 AC Milan: 5 Talking Points

#3 Max Allegri's substitutions work wonders

Cuadrado came off the bench to score

Having seen his side struggle to exert dominance in the match, manager Allegri turned the complexion of the match with two terrific substitutions when he brought on Douglas Costa, first, followed by Juan Cuadrado, both of whom injected tremendous pace that bolstered Juventus.

The substitutions added more attacking impetus as Milan were pushed on the back foot. The Colombian, in particular, was bright going forward, drifting inwards to attract the attention of the defenders before putting a cross and dropping deep to retain the possession.

Having spent considerable time out - three months to be specific - with chronic pubalgia, this was a fine return to action for the 29-year old who capped the same off with an equally fine goal that didn't only put his side back in the lead but also stirred Juve on.
