USMNT stars Tim Weah and Weston McKennie impress Massimiliano Allegri as Juventus beat Torino

  • Allegri pleased with USMNT duo
  • Weah and McKennie played full 90
  • Juventus beat Torino 2-0

WHAT HAPPENED? Second-half goals from Federico Gatti and Arkadiusz Milik secured the local bragging rights on Saturday as Juventus made the most of Inter's slip-up against Bologna earlier in the day. However, head coach Allegri was also impressed by his American duo.

WHAT THEY SAID: "Weah had a good performance as a full-back, he's someone who pushes," Allegri said after the match. "McKennie was also good at covering him, they played a good game."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Weah made only his second start of the Serie A season following his summer move from Lille. Though an attacker by trade, Allegri has been using him as a wing-back. McKennie spent the second half of last season on loan at Leeds, but has returned to Turin and is now one of the first names on the team sheet.
