Federico Gatti jokes his tap-in off the woodwork was a routine Juventus ‘tested out in training’ after their victory over Fiorentina.

It was a game of two halves, as while the hosts had three goals ruled offside along with Gatti tapping in the rebound from a Gleison Bremer header off the far post, the Viola dominated the restart and Wojciech Szczesny fingertipped a Nico Gonzalez curler onto the crossbar.

“It is an important victory, we were coming off two very difficult months. Now we have so much to play for in the remaining weeks of the season and we have to take it one game at a time,” Gatti told DAZN.

In all competition, this was their second consecutive victory after Tuesday’s 2-0 Coppa Italia semi-final success against Lazio.

“We showed the same spirit as on Tuesday, where we work for our teammates, Dusan and Federico helped out the defence too, when we fight for every ball, we are a tough team to take on.”

Gatti seemed to apologise to Bremer after scoring the goal, as the Brazilian’s header came off the upright. So was that a corner routine?

“We tested it out in training this morning… No, I’m kidding. I’m sorry for Bremer, but I found myself in the right place at the right time and it made up for me missing an earlier chance.”
