    Wes comes on in the 81st, with a 3-1 lead over Sassuolo. Toljan started but came off.

    Nice steal and pass to CR7 starts a counter, but Ronaldo makes a pass to Kulusevski that he didn't anticipate.

    Playing left midfield in the 4-4-2, by the way.

    Wes had a great takeaway from Berardi and pulls away and shanks his pass to a streaking Cuadrado on the counter just before the final whistle.

    Ronaldo and Dybala each get their 100th for Juventus. Only 95 to go for Mckennie to join the club.

    First minute, and we have our first instance of a commentator confusing McKennie and Cuadrado.

    Duvan Zapata dominating this.

    McKennie is being asked to go way forward on long balls that will produce a battle for a header, instead of wide.

    Kulusevski incredible run and tries to play it to McKennie at the penalty spot, but it was barely closer to a defender and picked off.

    Poor McKennie backpass leads to a threat in the box and penalty appeals against Rabiot. Think the ref got it right by making no call.

    ASSIST! Wes great header springs Kulusevski, passes to Ronaldo just inside the box, contact means the ball is left to McKennie vs a wall of defenders, he touches it wide to an open Kulusevski, who first time curls it perfectly inside the far post! 1-0!

    Wes gets an assist, but probably should have been a foul on Cuardado, and the goal was 95% a magical finish from k-can't spell this name.

    Also against the run of play

    Really poor challenge from Cuadrado there. Should have been a foul and probably a card but Atalanta don't get the call.

    Against the run of play is fair, and it was a hell of a shot by Kulusevski, but Wes' first touch had to be good and passing out of the quadruple team on target with the appropriate touch was pretty good. I'll give him more than 5% credit.

    Fair. Think I'm just seriously impressed by the finish.

    Atalanta strikes back.

    Juve needs to stop trying to play it out of the back. McKennie not involved, but that's possibly a problem as you'd need to widen the camera to figure out why he didn't come back

    I see it's 1-1, just what the doctor ordered.

    He's playing center forward during their "buildups," not right wing.

    Yea I've noticed that in the occasional Juve match I catch. I don't quite understand Pirlo ball.

    Bummer of a first touch as he collected on the counter, didn't find Kulusevski this time.
