Monstrous Gonzalo Higuain, Juventus comeback on Atalanta: 3-1, a very heavy victory

Ronaldo is not there but the Juventus show is still in HD. At Juventus, a quarter of an hour is enough to overturn Atalanta and exit Bergamo with three heavy points. Without the Portuguese, not summoned, the success is signed Higuain and Dybala, the men of attack who spent the summer with a suitcase in hand and instead continue to raise the chestnuts on the fire in Sarri. Gasperini's team is preferred for a time, where he dominates and misses a penalty with Barrow and takes the lead at the beginning of the second half with Gosens. The 1-0 resists up to 16 minutes from the end, then the Pipita hurricane is unleashed.

The one-two is worth the comeback, then the seal of Dybala in the recovery extinguishes the illusions of a Goddess who receives an excessive punishment. The three points allow Juventus to present themselves at best to the challenge of the Champions League with Atletico and to put pressure on Inter, waiting tonight for the match at Turin: the bianconeri fly temporarily to +4.

Gasperini without the bored Zapata and the suspended Ilicic, Muriel is not at his best and sits on the bench. At the center of the attack is the young Barrow. In the Juventus ranks, on the other hand, there is no Matuidi and in his place he plays Bentancur. In defense, Cuadrado and De Sciglio play. On the trocar Bernardeschi wins the runoff with Ramsey behind Higuain and Dybala. Out Alex Sandro, on the left is De Sciglio. More Goddess than Madam in the first half. The orobici immediately make themselves threatening with a Djimsiti gore, the first bianconero ring is a punishment of Dybala that goes off at the bottom. By the quarter of an hour the turn of the meeting could already arrive: Khedira intervenes with a wide arm, Rocchi points to the spot.

But Barrow wastes everything, kicking on the crossbar: then on the rebound Pasalic sends his head out. Regret Atalanta and sigh of relief for the Bianconeri. Higuain tries to shake his with a conclusion contained in two stages by Gollini. But it is still Atalanta who is close to the advantage: Gosens paints the cross for Pasalic's head, Szczesny's diving reflex is amazing. Then it is still fearful in the area of ​​Juventus with Szczesny who pushes away the cross from Gomez and De Sciglio who saves on the line on De Sciglio's sure-shot attempt.

Sarri is already forced to change gear on the 25 'as Bernardeschi, in pain, cannot continue: Ramsey finds out. Gasperini's team pushes more, before the interval Djimsiti tries to heel, on Gomez's cross, with no luck.

The start of recovery of the orobici is arrembante and immediately brings fruits with the goal of the advantage. Barrow sinks to the right and from the bottom he crosses the cross towards the second post, finding the gap of Gosens (56 '). Just the Gambian gives way to Muriel while Sarri plays the Douglas Costa card, recalling Bentancur. Atalanta however insists, De Ligt is good at defusing the threat brought by Muriel.

The Bianconeri gain space and hope for an invention by Dybala: and the Argentine tries to satisfy them, sowing three opponents but being stopped by Djmsiti at the last dribble.

Another move by Sarri with Emre Can who takes over Khedira. And Juventus find the same with Higuain who fought in the fray with the help of a deviation from Toloi (74 '). Try to answer Atalanta immediately with a big blow from outside Muriel, deflected by Szczeny in the corner. A possible elbow-touch of Emre Can recalls the Var Rocchi, which sees no extremes for a penalty.

The bianconeri however complete the comeback and the signature is still that of Pipita, which cold Gollini on an assist from Cuadrado (82 '). Gasperini's men protest for a touch of Colombian hands at the origin of the action, which seems obvious from the images. The hosts are thrown forward, but Juventus is lethal in the restart: it is the second minute of recovery and the Argentine duo closes the accounts. Higuain serves Dybala, who falls on the left-handed and beats Gollini. It is the hard law of the Lady.
