Torino coach Juric: Juventus defeat undeserved

Torino coach Ivan Juric was left frustrated after their 1-0 home defeat to 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.

“A draw would've been a fair result, it was a tough and tense match. In my view, Juve only created chances thanks to our own mistakes," Juric told DAZN.

“For the rest, we controlled it well. We conceded on a set play, where they have players who are great in the air and we do not. My lads gave their call, I cannot complain about that.

“We lost both our centre-forwards. We tried, but it's natural you need to practice these situations. The only regret is that at times we made frankly inexplicable mistakes on a purely technical level and that gave Juventus confidence.

“When you play with a five-man defence, you need to create one-on-one situations on the wings. That is not easy when the opposition puts eight or nine players behind the ball.

“We tried to have shots from distance in the second half, but made too many errors. Considering the characteristics of my squad, conceding a goal from a set play can happen."
