Michael Folorunsho scored and provided an assist as Hellas Verona played out a 2-2 draw with Juventus in Serie A on Saturday evening.

The Bianconeri had suffered back-to-back losses against Inter Milan and Udinese and fell behind against Verona when Italian-Nigerian Folorunsho opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a thunderbolt volley from a rebound off a corner kick for his third league goal of the season.

Dusan Vlahovic equalised for Juve from the penalty spot 17 minutes later but Napoli loanee Folorunsho was able to put Verona back ahead in the 52nd minute when he brilliantly set up Tijjani Noslin to coolly slot the ball past goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.

It did not take too long for Juventus to equalise as Adrien Rabiot scored three minutes later.

Verona are now winless in five Serie A matches and remain in 18th place on the table while Juventus occupy second place and are nine points behind leaders Inter Milan
