Juventus came from one goal down to beat stubborn Torino 2-1 in a tough Series A encounter at the Allianz Stadium.

Nicolas N'Koulou powered the visitors ahead from close range just after nine minutes into the encounter in Turin.

The 30-year-old Cameroonian benefited from the hosts' poor clearance after firing a loose ball into the bottom right corner of the post under 10 minutes of action.

N'Koulou's early goal gave the away team the confidence they needed to pressurise their hosts as they made more attacking moves in search of more goals.

However, they were unable to maintain their lead in the game as Juan Cuadrado levelled parity for the Old Lady in the 57th minute. But the VAR ruled it off for offside.

Weston McKennie eventually restored parity for the home team in the 78th minute through a thunder from the edge of the 18-yard.

The 22-year-old made a run towards the ball after Juve's corner kick was nodded out by the cluster of players and then send the ball straight into the net.
