Dybala Rescues Juventus At Inter With Late Penalty

Paulo Dybala rescued Juventus on Sunday with a controversial late penalty which earned his team a 1-1 draw at Inter Milan, while Napoli’s perfect start to the season came to an end with a goalless draw at Roma.

Argentina forward Dybala slotted home his spot-kick with a minute left after Denzel Dumfries was ruled to have kicked Alex Sandro, a decision that enraged Inter to the point that coach Simone Inzaghi was sent off by referee Maurizio Mariani.

“I think it’s a very important point. We are Juventus, we play to win, but today we faced a team that plays good football,” Dybala disclosed this in an interview.

“I think that after so many years here, my time has come.“

Having failed to win any of its opening four league fixtures for the first time in 60 years this term, Juve has turned its season around under returning coach Allegri.

Juve are up to sixth on 15 points, level with Atalanta and Fiorentina, while champions Inter stay seven points behind Napoli and city rivals AC Milan in the title race.
