Vlahovic double maintains perfect Juve start
Dusan Vlahovic netted a brace as Juventus surged to the top of the Serie A standings with a second consecutive 3-0 win to start the season, over Verona.
Dusan Vlahovic scored twice to help Juventus secure a comfortable 3-0 victory at Verona in Serie A.
Nicolo Savona thought he had marked his first start for the club with an early goal, slotting into the bottom-right corner, but he had strayed well offside.
Vlahovic then put Juve in front in the 28th minute with a low shot from around the penalty spot before Savona did hit the back of the net with a looping header into the far post.
The Serbian forward then made it 3-0 from the spot in the second half, after Juve was awarded a penalty for Jackson Tchatchoua's foul on Samuel Mbangula.
Juventus is the only side to win its first two games in Serie A and Thigao Motta's men currently lead the standings with six points.
After failing to hit the back of the net in its Serie A opener, Vlahovic's wait for a first goal of the season did not last long, scoring after 28 minutes.
The Serb has scored multiple goals in more games than any other player in Serie A over the last six seasons (18 since 2019-10), followed by Lautaro Martinez (17) and Ciro Immobile (16) in this period.
Meanwhile, Kenan Yildiz (born in 2005) is the youngest player in the top 5 European leagues to have provided more than one assist (two) so far this season.
