Nick Woltemade scores first Serie A goal in Juventus thriller at Fiorentina

Nick Woltemade scored his first Serie A goal last night as Juventus twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Fiorentina.

The Newcastle loanee equalised in the 32nd minute, turning home Randal Kolo Muani's low cross to add a first Italian league goal to his three in the Europa League.

Woltemade and Kolo Muani combine again

Juventus had fallen behind inside four minutes, but Woltemade brought them level after Kolo Muani beat his defender down the right and picked him out in the box.

It was a composed first-time finish, and the pair nearly repeated it five minutes later. Kolo Muani again supplied Woltemade, only for David de Gea to deny him a second.

Fiorentina retook the lead early in the second half before Bremer headed Juventus level from a corner in the 66th minute. Neither side could find a winner.

A league breakthrough after his European contributions

The goal follows Woltemade's assist in Thursday's win at AZ Alkmaar, when he exchanged passes with Kolo Muani before the Frenchman scored what proved to be the winner.

That combination worked the other way around in Florence, with Kolo Muani creating both Woltemade's goal and his chance for a second. Their understanding has now produced a goal in successive matches, giving both forwards opportunities rather than leaving one isolated up front.

A goal and an assist in his last two games is a useful return for Big Nick heading into the international break. His European performances have been encouraging, but getting off the mark in Serie A is another welcome step in making this loan work.
