Finally! Juve suffer, but beat Udinese to end eight-match winless run

Vlahovic and Yildiz from the spot and Gatti score for the Bianconeri for their first victory since the one against Inter back on September 13

Who needs a coach? Juventus, apparently, not.

A few days after their head coach, Igor Tudor, was sacked due to a string of awful results (three defeats in a row, an eight-game-long winless run), the Bianconeri finally celebrated a desperately needed Serie A triumph against Udinese, 3-1.

It was pretty electric this Wednesday night at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, as the hosts - led by interim boss Massimiliano Brambilla - went all in and were rewarded for that. Some would say, yes, but with two of those three goals coming from the spot, Dusan Vlahovic opened the scoring within the opening five minutes after being taken down in the Udinese box.

The Serb striker netted, but the underdogs bounced back through Nicolo Zaniolo, the golden boy of Italian football back in the day, showcasing Juve's shortcomings and flaws all over again.

Despite Udinese's resilience, the favourites kept pushing for the second and, finally, restored the lead through Gatti, who headed it home perfectly following the cross from the right.

The game's final minutes provided us with lots of drama, though, as Oumar Solet's header went inches away from the left post before Kenan Yildiz sealed the deal with another penalty.

Juve still need a new coach - Luciano Spalletti is the top candidate for the vacant job - but they are at least back on the winning track. Not too bad for a Wednesday night.
