Kulusevski strikes late to earn Juventus win over Zenit
ST PETERSBURG, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Dejan Kulusevski scored a late goal to earn Juventus a 1-0 victory away to Zenit St Petersburg on Wednesday and maintain their perfect record in Champions League Group H.
The Swede was left unmarked in the box to guide a header in off the post on the 86th minute and decide a game of few opportunities at the Gazprom Arena.
Juve midfielder Weston McKennie´s shot was well saved and Claudinho curled an effort narrowly wide for the hosts early in the second half, but the goalkeepers were largely untroubled as the two teams mustered a combined three shots on target before Kulusevski struck.
Massimiliano Allegri´s side top the group with nine points, six clear of Zenit in third and three ahead of second-placed Chelsea, who beat pointless Malmo 4-0 in London. (Reporting by Alasdair Mackenzie, editing by Ed Osmond)
