Juventus defeated Sampdoria to win their second league game in a row and move into the top half of Serie A.
After 10 minutes, Paulo Dybala scored into the bottom corner, but was forced to leave the field in tears due to an injury. Maya Yoshida’s header made it 2-1 before halftime after Leonardo Bonucci increased the hosts’ lead with a penalty.
After Antonio Candreva’s late response, Juventus held on to win thanks to Manuel Locatelli’s goal.
