Juventus star Kenan Yildiz extended his rich vein of form this season after producing a masterclass in the thrilling 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League opener.
Coming off a brilliant display against Inter Milan, where he orchestrated a monumental comeback, the Turkish prodigy once again bailed out the Bianconeri from a vulnerable position.
Yildiz cancelled Karim Adeyemi’s opener with an outrageous goal from outside the box, finding the top right corner past Gregor Kobel.
Dortmund regained the lead through Felix Nmecha, but Dusan Vlahovic levelled after latching onto Yildiz’s inch-perfect through ball.
The visitors established a 4-2 lead, but goals from Vlahovic and Lloyd Kelly in injury time helped the Old Lady complete an unlikely comeback.
Yildiz created three big chances, completed four dribbles and achieved a passing accuracy of 92 percent. He made seven recoveries and won six duels.
The 20-year-old has been pivotal to Juve’s impressive start to the new season, picking up three consecutive wins in Serie A, followed by a draw against Dortmund last night.
After registering 12 goals and nine assists in all competitions last term, Yildiz has now racked up two goals and four assists in just four games.
Vlahovic has also experienced a resurgence after a turbulent summer, marked by speculation surrounding his future.
The Serbian centre-forward is now proving to be a match-winner for Tudor’s side, having bagged four goals and an assist in four games this season.
The Italian giants will now turn their attention towards Saturday’s Serie A away fixture against Hellas Verona.
