Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny: I always trained with Higuain last season

Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was pleased with his spotkick save from AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain during Sunday's win.

The Polish international saved his former teammate's spot kick, diving low his right to push it onto the post.

“I know him, because he was one of the penalty takers last year," Szczesny told JTV.

“Last year, as second goalkeeper, I always trained with him on penalties and of course we'd studied them.

“I chose to move first on his penalty, he usually hits them like that and I just had to hope he wouldn't change, which he didn't.

“So I'm happy to have saved the penalty."
