TEEN SCORES IN JUVENTUS’ 2-1 VICTORY

-

Juventus ended the Serie A with a sign of the future as 17-year-old Moise Kean scored a stoppage-time winner in a 2-1 comeback victory over Bologna on Saturday.

A second-half substitute, Kean connected on a difficult header following a free kick from Miralem Pjanic.

It was the first Serie A goal for Kean, who was making just his third appearance in the Italian league. In November, Kean became the first player born in this millennium to appear in Serie A.

Paulo Dybala equalized for Juventus in the 70th with a rebound following a shot from Gonzalo Higuain, after Bologna’s Saphir Taider opened the scoring with a splendid shot from beyond the area following the break.

“We needed to end well and did it in the best way possible,” Juventus coach Massimilia­no Allegri said.

Juventus had already clinched a record sixth straight Serie A title.
