ROME, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Another Dusan Vlahovic set-piece helped Juventus beat Spezia 2-0 on Wednesday.
Juve had had a shaky start to the new Serie A season, with a 3-0 victory over Sassuolo followed by back-to-back draws against Sampdoria and Roma.
The Bianconeri began the game still without Leonardo Bonucci, Paul Pogba and Federico Chiesa, while Leandro Paredes showed up in the stands after completing his loan move from Paris Saint-Germain.
Vlahovic had sent Juve ahead in the Roma game with a stunning free-kick, and on Wednesday night the Serbian did likewise with another spectacular in the eighth minute.
The Old Lady were dealt a blow before the interval as goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was stretchered off, making way for Mattia Perin.
New arrival Arkadiusz Milik proved his value deep into stoppage time, as the Pole collected the ball from the right before spinning around to fire home.
Elsewhere, Lorenzo Colombo missed a penalty but atoned for his error by smashing in a blockbuster, helping Lecce to draw 1-1 with Napoli.
Also on Wednesday, Manolo Gabbiadini's last-gasp goal canceled out Ciro Immobile's opener, as Lazio had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Sampdoria.
In other fixtures, Udinese edged Fiorentina 1-0, while Empoli and Hellas Verona played out a 1-1 draw. ■
