Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo played down Cristiano Ronaldo's strop after their 3-1 win against Genoa.

Dejan Kulusevski, Alvaro Morata and Weston McKennie struck the goals for Juev.

“We had the right attitude at the start, it all seemed easy, then we allowed a chance at the end of the first half due to a lack of concentration," Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia.

“It's happened before that we concede goals either side of the half and it almost happened again. We came out wanting to take the initiative, but we went too deep, ran a few risks and didn't take the chances that would've allowed us to be a bit more relaxed."

Ronaldo was clearly angry after the final whistle and threw his shirt to the ground.

“It's normal he wanted to score a goal, especially when the game was getting complicated, as he is a champion and always wants to make his mark.

“Genoa put a lot of players between the lines, so we considered a change of tactics during the game. Unfortunately, we dropped points in games that on paper seemed easier, which made life complicated unnecessarily. That wasn't the case today, as we were controlling the match, but there were a few distractions that made us run some risks."
