Federico Bernardeschi (RW) – 7.5/10 – He’s at it again! Bernardeschi’s assist for Morata’s opener was just delightful amid yet another promising display. The Italian was stationed out on the right flank and rarely drifted infield. He offered variation and quality in one-vs-one situations, with his defensive work astute. Is this the best spell of his Juventus career?

Alvaro Morata (ST) – 7/10 – A goal and assist for Morata amid a productive evening for the Spaniard. His early strike in this one was his third Serie A goal in four games. The finish was a smart one as well. Otherwise, Morata held the ball up pretty effectively with support arriving from midfield and was a constant threat in transition throughout, even if his decision-making let him down on occasions.

Moise Kean (LW) – 4/10 – A different role for Kean tonight. While he occasionally rotated with Morata in the first half, he predominantly played as a left-winger. The Italian was poor, however. He was far too clumsy with possession and he struggled with the details of his defensive function.
