Juventus coach Antonio Conte was pleased with Fabio Quagliarella's goal scoring performance in victory over Novara.

Quagliarella had a rare start and scored his first goal since that devastating injury a year ago.

"Fabio is a player who I always considered to be important. I give gifts to nobody, as I always send out the best XI for the circumstances.

"Gigi Buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world and I always counted on him. Besides, he needs to justify his wages!"
