Juve collapses with Samp and slips to -4 from Naples

The Italian champions succumbed to Marassi after a daring challenge with Sampdoria who, after being dominated in the first half, skewered Juve three times, however risking being caught up in the final

Juve collapses with Samp and slips to -4 from Naples

Sensational and daring setback by Juve who lost in Marassi against an effervescent Sampdoria who have so far won all six home games and are at the top of the standings.

Juve, on the other hand, slipped to four points behind leaders Napoli and will complain for a long time about today's defeat because in the first half they literally threw away two golden opportunities (the first with Cuadrado and the second with Higuain) to take the lead.

Goal wasted and goal conceded. And in fact Sampdoria exploded at the beginning of the second half by scoring first with Zapata who, on an unfortunate bell tower by Bernardeschi, literally overtook Lichtsteiner and beat the innocent Szczesny in the 52nd minute. Twenty minutes later the indomitable Terreira doubled for the Ligurians and in the 79th minute he completed the Ferrari hat-trick in front of a motionless Khedira.

Juve only shakes in the final when they find a penalty, obtained by Douglas Costa, converted by Higuain and a beautiful goal by Dybala in the 94th minute. But it is too late to complete the comeback. And on Wednesday Juve receives Messi's Barcelona in the Champions League….
