Serie A: Juventus reassures itself in Lecce

Juventus secured a 2-0 away victory against Lecce on Sunday during matchday eight of Serie A. Weston McKennie opened the scoring for the visitors in the 29th minute, assisted by Douglas Luiz from a clever free kick. Douglas Luiz then added a second goal himself in the 41st minute with a shot from the right side, giving the Bianconeri a commanding first-half lead they held through the final whistle.

The clean-sheet win ended a difficult stretch for Juventus following a league draw and a heavy loss to Lazio. The result moves the Turin club within three points of fourth-place Como in the race for Champions League qualification, providing much-needed relief for manager Luciano Spalletti amid growing pressure on his position.
