Juventus 2-2 Salernitana: CHAOS in Turin as Arkadiusz Milik sees the Old Lady champions sent off by VAR on a late rebound
Leonardo Bonucci scored the equalizer as Juventus fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at home to Salernitana, but Massimiliano Allegri’s side was denied a late winner by VAR in a turbulent end to their Serie A clash on Sunday.
Juventus, who held on to their fourth six-game Serie A campaign this season, thought they had grabbed each of the three points when substitute Arkadiusz Milik headed home in injury time, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review for offside.
- The team drew 2-2 against Salernitana at the Allianz Stadium
- Antonio Candreva gave the visitors the lead before Krzysztof Piatek doubled the lead
- The team got one back in the 51st minute through Gleison Bremer’s powerful header
- Leonardo Bonucci dived back on the rebound after his penalty was saved late
- Arkadiusz Milik had a goal ruled out for offside five minutes before injury time
- The striker was then sent off along with Juan Cuadrado and Massimiliano Allegri
- Salernitana’s Federico Fazio was also shown in red during the tumultuous consumption
Milik was then briefly sent off with a yellow card, along with teammate Juan Cuadrado and Salernitana’s Federico Fazio, who was involved in the tackle.

Previous Juventus player Antonio Candreva struck the ball to give Salernitana the lead
The visitors started to lead the pack in the 18th minute when Pasquale Mazzocchi’s cross from the edge of the box found midfielder Antonio Candreva, who crossed his body from close range.
Striker Krzysztof Piatek made it 2-0 for Salernitano just before half-time with a cool-headed free-kick, sending keeper Mattia Perino the wrong way after the visitors were awarded a penalty when Gleison Bremer saved Piatek’s handball.
Juventus came alive when Bremer scored with a superb header in the 51st minute and the home side then dominated possession at that point and pressed high up the pitch before being punished for Tonny Vilhena’s foul on keeper Alex Sandro.
Bonucci failed to beat goalkeeper Luigi Sepe with his work from the spot, but the home side finished off the rebound.
