Spezia coach Vincenzo Italiano: Juventus scoreline harsh

Spezia coach Vincenzo Italiano insists their 3-0 defeat to Juventus was undeserved.

Juve's goals came in a late rush on Tuesday.

"The regret is that we came here, played so well for an hour and then lost 3-0. That result is far, far too harsh for the game that we saw today," said Italiano.

“We often got into the final third, had two or three situations where we really could've hurt Juve, then once we conceded two goals in 10 minutes, the fatigue set in and being 2-0 down becomes difficult psychologically.

“As a coach, I must be happy with what I've seen today and confident going into the future, because if we play with this character in the remaining 13 games, then we can have a strong season.

“The game was going really well, so I personally believe that if we defend deeper, we're more likely to lose 6-0 than 3-0. There are regrets, because we conceded the opening goal at the near post and it's not the first time that's happened. There was only one place Bernardeschi could put that and we didn't cover it."
