Juventus held by Fiorentina as inconsistent Serie A run continues

Juventus were held to a 2-2 draw by Fiorentina in a dramatic Serie A encounter, extending their unsettled run of results in the Italian league.

Mateo Pellegrino and Alieu Njie scored for Fiorentina, while Nick Woltemade and Gleison Bremer replied for Juventus in the match from the 11th round of the competition.

The result means Juventus have now failed to win two consecutive matches across their last nine Serie A games. Since victories over Frosinone and Parma, their results have continued to alternate between wins, draws and defeats.

Fiorentina made the stronger start and took the lead after only four minutes. Pellegrino rose to meet the ball and powered a header beyond the Juventus defence.

Pellegrino has been one of the most prolific scorers with his head in Europe’s top five leagues since he first scored a headed goal in March 2025. Only Ante Budimir of Osasuna has scored more headed goals during that period, with nine.

Juventus levelled in the 32nd minute when Woltemade finished first time from a low cross delivered by Randal Kolo Muani.

Fiorentina regained their advantage nine minutes into the second half. Njie finished from inside the six-yard box to put the hosts back in front.

The lead lasted 12 minutes before Juventus equalised again. Bremer found the net with his shoulder from a corner, bringing his side back into the contest and completing the scoring.

The draw leaves Juventus with 18 points from their opening 11 matches, placing them seventh in the Serie A table.

Fiorentina moved on to nine points and remain 15th.
