Juventus coach Max Allegri was delighted with Samuel Iling-Junior after victory over Atalanta.

In his first Serie A start for Juve, the former Chelsea trainee scored his first goal for the Bianconeri.

Allegri said, "He's a guy who has quality and who plays both on and off the pitch. Today was a match in which I needed that type of player compared to (Filip) Kostic who is more linear."

He continued, "These points have an important weight because we haven't won away since 19 March. Winning in Bergamo wasn't easy, Juventus had never beaten Atalanta in the last six games. They're a physical team that plays well, it wasn't easy.

"It's an important victory achieved by the boys, they will certainly dedicate it to (Mattia) De Sciglio because we lost him for a long time.

"We have to rest and think about this wonderful semi-final of the Europa League, hoping that they will give me a free trip to Budapest."
