February 25, (THEWILL) – Juventus ended a five-match winless streak with a dramatic late 3-2 win over struggling Frosinone, inspired by Dusan Vlahovic’s 75th Serie A career goal.
The hosts looked like they meant business, taking the lead inside three minutes as a familiar pair combined to devastating effect. Weston McKennie provided the cross for Vlahovic’s headed winner in December’s reverse fixture, and after smartly bringing down Federico Gatti’s long pass here, he squared for Vlahovic to tuck home, although the shot took a slight nick off Frosinone defender Pol Lirola on its way in.
However, despite possessing the worst away league record this season heading into this weekend, the underdogs stunningly drew level on 14 minutes as Nadir Zortea beat Manuel Locatelli on his outside and produced an inviting cross which was attacked with relish by the head of Walid Cheddira.
Soon the Old Lady was level though, as Vlahovic was thwarted by Michele Cerofolini seconds before McKennie again fed the Serbia international, who made no mistake with an unerring close-range strike.
At the death, Vlahovic’s glancing header across goal from a corner was converted at the back post by the unlikely figure of Rugani to deafening roars of pleased home fans.
