How beleaguered Juventus made history with fightback at Bologna

Juventus fought back from 3-0 down against Bologna to draw 3-3 against Thiago Motta’s men in Monday's Serie A action. 

A Riccardo Calafiori brace and Santiago Castro header put the Rossoblu 3-0 ahead, but the Old Lady netted three times in eight minutes through Federico Chiesa, Arkadiusz Milik and Kenan Yildiz to peg the hosts back at Stadio Dall'Ara. 

Monday’s match was Juventus’ first since Massimiliano Allegri’s dismissal following the Coppa Italia final, with the club’s U19 boss Paolo Montero, taking charge of the Bianconeri temporarily. 

The former Juventus defender will have been pleased by the side’s comeback draw in Reggio Emilia, as the Old Lady avoided losing in any game they have faced a three-goal deficit for the first time in the club’s history. 

According to multiple reports, Bologna boss Thiago Motta is expected to take charge of the Old Lady in the summer.

The Argentine was coy on the subject when asked after Monday’s match, choosing to focus on the Rossoblu’s incredible feat of securing Champions League qualification. 

Bologna and Juventus are tied on 68 points heading into the season’s final game, with Motta’s troops seeking maximum points to secure third potentially.
