Serie A giants Juventus secured a fairly comfortable 2-0 win over Udinese earlier today to return to winning ways in the competition.

The first half was quite positive for the Old Lady as Khephren Thuram put on a show and had a hand in Udinese’s own goal. Nicolo Savona scored his first ever goal for the senior team later in the half, helping the Bianconeri move back up to third place in the table.

It was probably Thuram’s best performance this season for the Bianconeri and Thiago Motta took note of it during the post-match press conference.

He said, as relayed by TMW: “We all have to improve, me first in preparing the game, trying to put each player in the right role and create a team harmony that can work.” We can still improve, on the counterattack we have it today very well done, in the first half we found a team ready to recover and start again, we were good at not giving him that chance.

“Thuram’s performance was excellent, technically very good, he has something different from the other midfielders, he played a complete game, he deserves it for the work he does, the credit goes to him because he is very focused on work.” “.

The summer signing may have had a slow start to the season, but he has now fully settled in and is showing his ability to move the ball out of midfield and make an impact in the final third. He will play a big role as the games come close together.
