Juventus earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory at the Artemio Franchi Stadium over the weekend, Fabio Miretti's first senior goal meaning the Bianconeri left Fiorentina with a full quota of points in the bag to continue their solid start to the season.
Here's five interesting facts to follow up Sunday night's success:
MAIDEN GOAL | Prior to Fabio Miretti, the last Juventus player to score his first goal in Serie A against Fiorentina was Claudio Marchisio, in January 2009 at Olimpico Grande Torino.
ALLEGRI INFLUENCE | Since Massimiliano Allegri's return to Juventus (since 2021/22), the Bianconeri have collected the most 1-0 victories in Serie A: 17, at least three more than any other team in the period.
KOSTIC CONTRIBUTION | Since 2022/23, only Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (13) and Rafael Leao (11) have provided more assists than Filip Kostic in Serie A (10). The Serbian has provided seven assists via crosses in Serie A, more than any other player in the last two campaigns.
CLEAN SHEET KINGS | In 2023, Juventus have collected 11 clean sheets in away games in Serie A, more than any other team in the competition in the same period. Juventus have collected five clean sheets in their first six away games for the third time in their history after doing so in 1967/68 and 2004/05.
STRONG START | Juventus have won 26 points in Serie A this season, the best result for the Bianconeri in their first 11 Serie A games of the season since the year of the last Scudetto (29 in 2019/20).
