Juventus have 'mental issue' when it comes to scoring goals - Sarri

The Bianconeri have been relatively shot-shy this campaign, but their manager does not believe it will be a long-term problem

Juventus are dealing with a "mental issue" when it comes to scoring, according to coach Maurizio Sarri, who has been left disappointed by the lack of goals so far this season.

Sarri's unbeaten side sit top of Serie A, though they hold a slender lead over second-place Inter, whose only defeat came against the Bianconeri.

Juve drew 1-1 with Lecce on Saturday as the decision to rest Cristiano Ronaldo backfired, with Gonzalo Higuain, Leonardo Bonucci and Federico Bernardeschi particularly wasteful.
