PLAYER RATINGS: JUVENTUS 4 - 1 UDINESE
Following what can only be described as an embarrassment against Fiorentina, the Bianconeri returned to action in the friendly confines of Allianz Stadium. Udinese came out swinging on a disallowed goal by potential Juventus target Rodrigo de Paul. But the Bianconeri rebounded following the VAR disallowance and closed out the match with a 3-0 victory and three points as the club claws its way back up the table. The match was a perfect rebound and a much needed tune-up for the upcoming showdown with top of the table rival AC Milan as Juve resumed its assault for Scudetto number ten in a row.

Starters
Wojciech Szczesny - 5.5
Tek started his day getting saved by VAR for what feels like the first time after a handball assist allowed Rodrigo de Paul to score a cancelled goal at the 10’. Shortly after the Ronaldo score, the Polish keeper cleaned up on his own collecting the last ditch effort shot at the 32’ made by the greatest Italian footballer name in the sport, Kevin Lasagna. Szczesny collected another hazardous shot on goal at the 62’. Tek and Bonucci combined for a great stop on a cross from Udinese at the 76’ to attempt to keep the sheet clean. Unfortunately, a late breakdown allowed a Zeegelaar goal to crash the defensive party. Tek contributed two saves, two saves from inside the box, two accurate long balls, and one interception.
Danilo Luiz da Silva - 7
