Source context
Douglas Luiz had the best performance of his Juventus career, scoring a goal after providing the free kick assist for Weston McKennie to conquer Lecce 2-0. The Bianconeri were feeling the strain after a humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Lazio, then a 2-2 Europa League home draw with Stade Rennais. There were only 17 outfield players available, as Nico Gonzalez and Zeki Celik joined Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao, Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Jeff Ekhator and Kamil Grabara on the treatment table. Lecce were all or nothing with three wins and four draws, coming off last week’s 3-0 victory away to Udinese. Lassana Coulibaly, Santiago Pierotti, Ivan Ilic and Medon Berisha missed out.
