Cristiano Ronaldo's Brace Not Enough as Juventus Draw Parma 3-3 in Serie A

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gervinho each scored twice as Juventus were forced to share the spoils with Parma in a six-goal thriller at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 36th minute, as Juve sought to get back to winning ways in Serie A following their shock 3-0 defeat to Atalanta in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday.

Moments after Sami Khedira had rattled the post, Ronaldo picked up the ball from Blaise Matuidi and, despite slipping as he shot, his effort took a fortunate deflection past Sepe to hand the hosts the lead.

Juve thought they had a penalty on the stroke of half-time when Martin Caceres came together with Simone Iacoponi, but the decision was overturned following a VAR consultation.
