Juventus got back to winning ways in Serie A following a 2-1 victory over Monza at U-Power Stadium.

Weston McKennie and Nicolas Gonzalez were on target for Thiago Motta's side, who ended a run of four successive league draws.

The Bianconeri broke the deadlock in the 14th minute, as an unmarked McKennie volleyed home from Teun Koopmeiners' corner.

Monza replied eight minutes later, with Andrea Carboni's inviting cross turned in by Samuele Birindelli.

However, Juventus regained their advantage six minutes before half-time, with Gonzalez finishing after the hosts failed to deal with a centre.

Monza looked to launch a late rally, but Juve held out for all three points.
