Sampdoria thrashed champion juventus 3-2 at home

Incredible Sampdoria trash Juventus 3-2, at home, Allegri decision to rest some of his best players backfired as Juventus lost ground in the Scudetto race with a shock 3-2 defeat at Sampdoria.

Paulo Dybala and Gianluigi Buffon were among several regulars left out of the starting XI and the Serie A champions paid the price as they conceded three second-half goals.

Gonzalo Higuain and Juan Cuadrado both failed to make an impact as they both lost a lot of chances at first halve.

Goal from Duvan Zapata in a 52nd-minute header and Lucas Torreira from outside the area to completely swing the momentum.

Higuain scored from outside the box as Dybala had also come off the bench in a bid to rescue Allegri's side and the Argentina star fired in a quickfire second to set up a tense final few seconds, but the damage was done.

The defeat leaves Juve four points adrift of leaders Napoli and they could drop to third depending on Inter's result against Atalanta later on Sunday.
