Mandragora Thunderbolt Earns Fiorentina a Point Against Juventus

Rolando Mandragora delivered the moment of the match with a spectacular long-range strike as Fiorentina held Juventus to a 1-1 draw, keeping Paolo Vanoli’s side unbeaten under his leadership but still searching for their first Serie A win of the season.
Juve, also unbeaten under Luciano Spalletti, were denied an early chance to take control when a VAR review overturned a penalty initially awarded for a challenge on Dusan Vlahovic.
Chances were scarce in a cautious first half until Moise Kean rattled the bar for Fiorentina, with Mandragora also going close from a free-kick.
Juventus eventually broke the deadlock deep into added time when Filip Kostic drilled a low effort into the corner from distance.
But Mandragora replied in style moments after the restart, unleashing an unstoppable strike into the top corner.
Both sides threatened more spectacular goals as the game opened up, yet the finishing touch proved elusive.
Juventus pushed late on, only for David de Gea to deny Weston McKennie with a superb save.
The draw leaves Juventus with just two wins from their last 13 in all competitions, while Fiorentina have now avoided defeat in consecutive league matches for the first time since the opening weeks of the campaign.
