Juventus ended their run of four consecutive Serie A draws with a 2-1 victory over Monza, leaving Alessandro Nesta’s side bottom of the table at Christmas.
Weston McKennie opened the scoring early, volleying home Teun Koopmeiners’ corner. Monza equalized soon after through Samuele Birindelli’s stunning volley, but Nico Gonzalez restored Juve’s lead before halftime, capitalizing on a deflected cross from McKennie.
Despite Monza’s spirited second-half efforts, the Old Lady’s defense held firm, ensuring no late drama this time.
The loss marks Monza’s fourth straight home defeat and heightens pressure on Nesta after just one league win under his tenure.
Juventus, still nine points off the top, remain unbeaten and in the hunt for their first Scudetto in five years.
