William Troost-Ekong claimed Udinese deserved to beat Juventus in Thursday’s Italian topflight encounter.
Going down to Matthijs de Ligt’s 42nd minute effort, Luca Gotti’s men bounced back to win 2-1 thanks to strikes from Ilija Nestorovski and Cote d’Ivoire international Seko Fofana.
For Maurizio Sarri's men, defeat meant they would have to wait until another day to work towards clinching their ninth successive Serie A title.

According to the Nigeria international, the Old Lady’s desire to seal the Italian topflight title at Stadio Friuli spurred them to victory.
