Juventus boss Max Allegri was pleased with victory over Empoli yesterday.

Carlos Tevez and Roberto Pereyra struck the goals for Juve.

"First of all I am very happy with the performance, especially as it was Padoin's first time playing in front of the defence, Angelo Ogbonna was back after a month and Stefano Sturaro had only his second start," the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

"We allowed Empoli practically nothing in the first half, but after the break we tried to control the situation and did run some risks. We should've been more concentrated and anticipated the moves.

"It's not easy to win four in a row with clean sheets. Many of the players only returned from international duty on Thursday, so they really do deserve compliments.

"Empoli are a very organised side and played well, so we had to play between the lines and the only way to open them up was to keep moving their defenders from one side to the other.

"I'd say it's a great victory against a team in good shape who were unbeaten in eight games."
