"Turino "Juventus" continues to lead "Serie A" after defeating "Sassuolo" club 2:1 at home on Sunday.
However, the match was overshadowed by an unpleasant incident, when the host's player Douglas Costa attacked opponent Federico De Francesco and was sent off the field.
After the match, the "black and white" coach Massimo Allegri commented on the situation and insisted that the Brazilian was provoked.
"Maybe he got annoyed because of the missed opportunity. Now it doesn't matter, as it shouldn't have happened that way.
One thing we must avoid is reacting to provocations," Allegri said.
"We could have scored a third goal, but we started playing individually.
We tried to break the opponent's defense with personal actions and this unsettled the "Sassuolo" players, who reacted inappropriately, leading to the incident with Costa."
