Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny delighted with victory at Sampdoria: I was lucky with penalty

Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was delighted with their 3-1 win at Sampdoria.

The Pole saved a penalty from Antonio Candreva during the triumph.

"To be honest, I was lucky. I expected a central penalty, the ball moved a little bit from the spot, I picked a side and hoped," he said.

“It's nice, because we study penalties and it is always satisfying when we manage to save one."

He continued: “We did well this evening, controlled the game and they say that winning helps you to keep winning. We always seem to find a way to pick up the three points and we hope to keep going like this.

“There are some goals you can't do much about, such as ones that take a deflection. Clean sheets are nice, but we can only do so much."
