Juventus 2-1 Lokomotiv Moscow: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Late Dybala Double Rescues Hosts

Juventus struck twice late on to overcome a dogged and determined Lokomotiv Moscow 2-1 at the Allianz Stadium, retaining top spot in Group D in the process.

The visitors took a shock lead half an hour into the match when Aleksei Miranchuk smashed home with aplomb after Joao Mario's initial effort was only parried by Wojciech Szczesny. It was a goal that punished Juve after a sluggish, lacklustre effort in the opening exchanges.

Lokomotiv were relatively comfortable for a significant proportion of the action in Turin but were punished late on as tiring legs allowed Paulo Dybala two strike twice in two minutes to break the Russian's stubborn and very bold resistance.
