Bologna 0 Juventus 1: Substitute Dybala spares Bianconeri blushes

Juventus put in a poor display against Bologna but bounced back from their defeat to Atletico Madrid thanks to Paulo Dybala's winner.

Paulo Dybala came on from the bench to score the winner as a lacklustre Juventus overcame Serie A strugglers Bologna 1-0 on Sunday.

Despite putting in a below-par performance for much of the encounter, Juve took the lead when Dybala – whose long-term future in Turin is rumoured to be in doubt – slotted home from close range eight minutes after coming on.

Dybala's effort came against the run of play, with Juve sparred by wasteful finishing and a superb block from Alex Sandro, who prevented Ibrahima Mbaye from putting Bologna ahead.
