Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri was pleased with their 1-0 defeat of AC Milan.

Paulo Dybala came off the bench to hit the winner.

Sarri said, “I liked the spirit of the team, but we have to improve immensely in terms of quality, as we made too many mistakes, gave the ball away cheaply and opened up spaces for Milan. The hunger and determination to win is what kept us going.

“Milan had shots on goal, but they were almost all efforts from outside the penalty area. They have impressive passing quality, played clearly above their average performance level of this season and have strong technique.

“Gonzalo Higuain isn't scoring as much as he did in the past, but he is working hard to help the defence, combines better with his teammates and is always ready for the assist."
