Juventus coach Max Allegri was pleased to grind out a 2-0 win over Frosinone on Sunday.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Federico Bernardeschi were Juve's goalscorers.

“We expected it to be like this. Frosinone had conceded five to Sampdoria and we played down to 10 men for 70 minutes against Valencia on Wednesday," Allegri told Sky Sport Italia.

“We just needed to have patience and after many shots, crosses and passes, we found the breakthrough."

Allegri rested Blaise Matuidi, Joao Cancelo and Sami Khedira, using Emre Can in midfield.

“The idea was to give width, but that wasn't happening, so I put Miralem Pjanic further forward for Emre Can to cover the defence and push Juan Cuadrado further up.

“Federico Bernardeschi then came on very well, we held the ball in more dangerous areas and eventually got the goals we needed.

“With Emre Can in front of the defence, you can afford two midfielders with more quality."
