What happened. Vasilije Adzic says Manuel Locatelli and Tarik Muharemovic helped convince him to make his summer move from Juventus to Sassuolo, and revealed Luciano Spalletti sought him out on the bench to praise his start to the season.

• Adzic scored a dramatic late winner as Sassuolo beat Juventus 3-2 on Sunday.
• He said scoring against the Old Lady had been on his mind every day.
• September 13 also marked 21 years since he scored a late Juventus winner against Inter.

“After greeting Aquilani, he came looking for me on the bench. I went over to him, and he complimented me”

Adzic's hot start — three goals in five games — is making his Juventus loan look like a masterstroke for Sassuolo.
