Juventus got their Italian League title defence off to an impressive start following their 3-0 win over Sampdoria at the Allianz Stadium.

A goal each from Dejan Kulusevski, Leonardo Bonucci and Cristiano Ronaldo were all Andrea Pirlo needed to get his reign as the Old lady boss started on a winning note.

Kulusevski made a scoring debut for the Turin club after firing from outside the 18-yard box a stunning goal.

The 20-year-old midfielder was in the right place to fire home from outside of the 18-yard box after Cristiano Ronaldo was stopped by the opposition.
