Hoek names 'on fire' Juventus ace Dybala MOM for victory over Zenit

Former Ajax and Manchester United coach Franz Hoek named Paulo Dybala best afield for Juventus' Champions League win against Zenit St Petersburg.

UEFA technical observer Hoek declared: "Paulo Dybala played a fantastic game.

"He was on fire, he scored twice and assisted the fourth goal of the evening. He always wanted the ball and was always aiming to do something impressive when in possession. He was in the right frame of mind this evening, and it paid off."

Dybala struck twice on the night and said: "I think that when you take risks it's normal that you can score more easily. You have more chances of scoring with more men close to the opponents' goal. I think we played well in attack and we could even have scored a few more goals."
