Fabio Quagliarella enjoyed his debut hat-trick against Pescara and believes defeat to Inter actually did Juventus good.

“It’s the first hat-trick of my career, so I will treasure the match ball. I dedicate the goals to my mother, who is in hospital after undergoing surgery,” he said of the 6-1 victory at the Stadio Adriatico.

“The important thing was to win and we really, really won. We showed that it is possible to have a setback against a great team like Inter, but we’re still here.

“That defeat was just a stumble and if anything it made us stronger, as we are right back on track with the hunger we need.”
