Fiorentina grabbed a clinical 2-0 win over Juventus at Allianz Stadium in Serie A Round 37, handing the hosts a painful hit in the Champions League race. Goals from Cher Ndour and Rolando Mandragora did the damage, with David De Gea’s shot-stopping masterclass frustrating a Juventus side that piled up pressure but not goals.

Ndour strikes, Mandragora seals it

Fiorentina struck first on 34 minutes. Manor Solomon threaded a neat move on the right and found Cher Ndour, who finished with his right foot from close range to make it 1-0. An early injury to Fabiano Parisi forced a change, bringing on Jack Harrison at 32 minutes, but the visitors stayed organized.

Juventus pushed after the break and had a lengthy VAR check around the 72nd minute, keeping the tension high in Turin. It was Fiorentina who found the killer second, though. On 83 minutes, substitute Rolando Mandragora fired a left-footed effort beyond Michele Di Gregorio to seal three points.
