Dybala hails Juventus captain Buffon for Cagliari win

Juventus striker Paulo Dybala was relieved after their victory over Cagliari.

Dybala thanked Gigi Buffon for saving a penalty when it was still only 1-0, as Juventus went on to beat Cagliari 3-0.

“I think it was a good performance from the team. I am happy with my goal, as it helped us double our lead in the first half, and glad we kept a clean sheet too," La Joya told Sky Sport Italia.

“We started a little shaky, but when we opened the scoring, the game got on track. Thanks to Gigi, he saved the penalty, and we remained concentrated for the rest of the match."

There were tactical changes in the second half, moving to 4-3-3 with Mario Mandzukic as the centre-forward and Dybala wide left.

“I wasn't expecting to play in Mandzukic's role, but I did play there at Palermo, so I am happy there too."
