Juventus coach Allegri: Players showed character for win at Torino

Juventus coach Max Allegri was left relieved after their 1-0 win at Torino.

Dusan Vlahovic tapped in at the back post when Danilo flicked on Juan Cuadrado's corner for the winner. It marked their first away win this season in all competitions.

“The lads proved today they are a team. We were organised, starting from the way we controlled the game, we had lots of shots on goal," Allegri told DAZN.

“I am happy, especially as it's the first away win of the season, we had failed to score in three of our last five matches, so it was not easy. They showed character.

“It's disappointing we had this recent spell, but sometimes situations come together and are beyond our control. We made a first small step today to getting out of the situation, I had no doubts they would, and now we need to continue.

“We've had a few crossroads lately. One was Salernitana, everyone knows what happened in that game, and the lads realised they needed to react. I was relaxed on the bench, as I saw the team had the right approach. We could've scored earlier and had more chances, but that will come with time as we gradually improve."
