Arkadiusz Milik's pass sent Chiesa clear on goal and he skipped around keeper Etrit Berisha's challenge to double the lead and seal the win in the 82nd minute.

Dusan Vlahovic missed a penalty around the half-hour mark, after Youssef Maleh fouled Federico Gatti.

Milik nearly scored a third for Juventus in stoppage time, as his header struck the woodwork, while team mate Moise Kean also hit the post shortly after.
