Juventus coach Max Allegri defended goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny after their 2-2 draw at Udinese for their Serie A opener.

Szczesny gave away a penalty and can be blamed for Udinese's equaliser as he was caught in possession after a Leonardo Bonucci back-pass which led to Gerard Deulofeu tapping into an empty net.

“Szczesny is a great goalkeeper, he didn't make a technical mistake, we should have understood the moment and don't be ashamed of throwing the ball in the stands," Allegri explained.

“There are many games, I still need to understand how to use five subs, it was the first time I can use them, I don't know if I used them correctly or not. I need to adapt."
