Gonzalo Higuaín may have scored two in Juventus’ 3-1 win over Atalanta on Saturday but the Argentine forward was keen to heap praise on the Bianconeri’s defence.

The Old Lady came back from a goal down to beat Gian Piero Gasperini’s side in Bergamo with Higuain bagging two and Paulo Dybala the other.

But Higuaín was keen to highlight how good the backline were in helping to beat La Dea.

“We knew this was going to be an extremely complicated match, as Atalanta are so strong at home and they had taken the lead, along with missing a penalty,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“It was a performance of great maturity and three important points in the Scudetto race. Paulo and I are very happy with our goals, but the whole team did well and it was a heck of a performance from the defence.

“Now we have a couple of days to rest and prepare for the Champions League.”

Juventus now prepare to take on Atlético Madrid in midweek.
