Claudio Marchisio was delighted to get on the scoresheet in Juventus' 3-1 win at Sassuolo.

The victory edges Juve closer to winning a third consecutive Scudetto.

"The celebration is because we need two points from three games. It was truly a difficult game for the weather, the turf and Sassuolo who put us under a lot of pressure," Marchisio told Sky Sport Italia.

"It was an important goal, just as all of them were today. I told Andrea Pirlo on a pitch like this it's always better to play it first time."
