Juventus’s Giorgio Chiellini has praised both Bruno Peres and Torino after an enthralling Derby della Mole meeting on Sunday evening.
Juventus had taken the lead through an Arturo Vidal penalty before Peres ran the length of the pitch to fire past Marco Storari. The game was eventually settled as Andrea Pirlo bagged a winner in the final seconds of the game.
“Torino played a very good game,”Chiellini told Sky Sport Italia.
“They exploited us and put us into great difficulty.
“There was a great deal of respect on our part and we became disjointed after Peres’ world class equaliser.”
He went on to comment on how it is important to not let the elation of the late winner overshadow what was a lucky escape.
“We are happy and elated to have won it so late, but we must evaluate our performance because some aspects of it were not good.”
Juventus currently sit in first place in Serie A and look to be in a strong position to win their fourth successive Scudetto.
