'Losing to Man Utd has done us good' - Allegri delighted with Juventus response

The team's ability to bounce back quickly against AC Milan pleased the Italian coach

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri praised his team for their response after a 2-0 win over AC Milan in Serie A on Sunday.

Goals from Mario Mandzukic and Cristiano Ronaldo at San Siro led Juve to their win, which saw them set a record for points (34) through 12 Serie A games.

It came four days after their surprise Champions League loss to Manchester United and Allegri was pleased with the way his side bounced back, although they needed Wojciech Szczesny to deny Gonzalo Higuain – who was later sent off – from the penalty spot in the first half.
