Andrea Pirlo’s side bounced back from last weekend’s 2-0 league defeat by Inter Milan, and followed on from their morale-boosting Italian Super Cup triumph over Napoli midweek. AC Milan held top spot in Serie A on Saturday despite falling 3-0 at home against Atalanta after second-placed Inter were held to a goalless draw at Udinese. Juventus dominated 13th-placed Bologna in Turin with Arthur breaking through after quarter of an hour with a long-range shot that took a big deflection off Bologna defender Jerdy Schouten. “McKennie is always in the right place, he has great vision,” said Pirlo, hailing an “important” win after last week’s defeat to Inter in the San Siro. As we demonstrated in the Super Cup we are not the team seen in the San Siro.
