Our heads were in Manchester – Allegri left fuming at Juventus' loss of focus

Juve failed to win a Serie A match for the first time this season as Genoa held them to a draw, leaving their manager frustrated

Massimiliano Allegri accused his players of being distracted by their looming Champions League clash with Manchester United as they lost their 100 per cent start in Serie A against Genoa on Saturday.

Daniel Bessa's second-half header cancelled out Cristiano Ronaldo's opener as Juve dropped points for the first time in the league this season.

Ronaldo's 400th career goal in Europe's top divisions had put the champions in control, but complacency crept into their display some time before Bessa capitalised on a defensive error to snatch a 1-1 draw.
