Jonathan David showed his worth by scoring a goal and providing an assist to propel Juventus to a 3-0 victory over Sassuolo in the Serie A match on Tuesday. The win helped Juventus, currently in fourth place, maintain an equal footing with Roma, who secured a 2-0 win against Lecce. Both teams are trailing Serie A leader Inter Milan by three points, with Inter having played two fewer matches than Juventus and Roma.
Despite facing criticism for missing a penalty in their previous game against Lecce, David retained his spot in the starting lineup and played a pivotal role in securing the victory in the second half. Following an own goal from Sassuolo’s Tarik Muharemovic in the first half, David assisted Fabio Miretti for Juventus’ second goal in the 62nd minute before finding the back of the net himself a minute later. The entire team, including substitutes and coach Luciano Spalletti, rushed to celebrate with David after his goal.
