Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri feels their fighting spirit has returned after victory over Palermo.

It was a fourth Serie A win on the bounce for Juve.

Allegri said, “At this moment we can see the team has improved physically, we are sharper and can change tempo at the right times. The only problem today was that we gave the ball away too cheaply.

“When I said that I didn't like the air around Juventus this summer, it was because some people felt as if four years of Serie A domination meant we could just walk on to the pitch and win.

“We struggled with that for a month and a half, then everyone realised we have to fight hard and work to win every single point."
