Last night’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Bologna enabled the Bianconeri to continue their strong start to the season and chalk up several significant achievements in the process.
Paul Pogba’s stoppage time winner handed Juventus their first championship success over Bologna for two years. You have to go back even further for the team’s last victory on home soil, 2008/09 in fact, when goals from Salihamidzic, Giovinco and Del Piero’s double secured a 4-1 triumph in Turin. The Rossoblu were also one of the three teams Juventus failed to beat in last season’s charge to the Scudetto, with Vucinic on target twice in 1-1 draws both at home and away.
In the driving rain at Juventus Stadium on the night of Halloween, Juventus took the opportunity to break another hoodoo, claiming three points from a midweek match for the first time this season. Conte’s men had previously drawn three in the Champions League and played out a goalless Serie A shutout with Fiorentina in Florence.
In addition, the win at Juventus Stadium means the hosts have made the best ever start to a season since the league became a 20-team championship. In ten Serie A fixtures, Juventus have secured nine victories and a draw, picking up 28 points. The extra point edges out Capello’s side, who opened the 2005/06 campaign with nine wins, but slipped to defeat against Milan in their tenth encounter – with Pirlo opening the scoring in a 3-1 Rossoneri success.
Milan and Capello are also linked to the magnificent unbeaten streak that Juventus continue to enjoy in the championship. Wednesday night’s victory moved the number of games without loss to 49, nine shy of the record of 58 achieved by the former England boss during his tenure at the San Siro.
The 22 goals scored mean that Juventus - along with Roma - boast the most prolific attack in the league, whilst also confirming their defensive strength with only five goals shipped at the other end.
