Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was satisfied with their 3-1 win over Empoli.

Juve came back from going a goal down thanks to Mario Mandzukic, Patrice Evra and Paulo Dybala getting on the scoresheet.

“The approach to the game was good," he said after the match. “We lost a ball when coming out of our own half and we were left in a difficult two-against-three situation, that's why we took a goal," said Allegri.

“Our game still has to improve, but let's see things in a positive light.

“We're seventh, nobody expected this position at the beginning of the championship but we've had two victories in a row and a positive result in the Champions League. We can't just focus on the negatives.

“[Mario] Mandzukic? He did well, he put himself in the team's service. But the whole team did well, like [Claudio] Marchisio, who is coming back. [Sami] Khedira played even though he wasn't in top condition.

“As always in football, you must not become hysterical and lose your nerve, even when the moment is difficult. Tonight the lads did well because they stayed calm after taking a goal."
