The Italian media were firmly impressed with Paulo Dybala’s performance in Juventus 2-0 win over Udinese last night, but less keen on Dejan Kulusevski’s work.
The home side took an early lead thanks to the Argentinian forward, who notably didn’t celebrate after scoring, and the three points were secured in the 79th minute, thanks to Weston McKennie. It was an important win for the Turin side, who are looking to keep up the pressure in the race for a top four finish this season.
Dybala was rated highly by the major Italian sports papers, above coach Massimiliano Allegri, although he still did a good job. Less impressive, however, was Kulusevski’s performance; his ratings clearly reflected his sub-standard game.
