He may not have registered his name on the scoresheet, but the game against Empoli was one of quality and quantity for Kenan Yildiz.

Beyond these figures, Kenan played a crucial role in the construction of the Bianconeri's chances, working mainly out wide on the left, as confirmed by his heatmap on Sunday.

It was from there that, in the 64th minute, the 19-year-old lit up the stadium with a fanstic bit of play: a magical turn that started the forward action that led to Juve's second goal. Not only the turn, but after the one-two with Weston McKennie, Kenan immediately placed a pass to Timothy Weah, whose shot from distance was deflected into the back of the net by Randal Kolo Muani.

Enjoy that bit of wizardry, to be watched on repeat...
