TURIN: A quick-fire double from new signing Randal Kolo Muani helped Juventus to a comeback 4-1 home win over lowly Empoli in Serie A on Sunday and lifted them into the top four.
Visiting Empoli took a shock lead after four minutes through defender Mattia De Sciglio, who nodded home following a corner, before Kolo Muani equalised in the 61st minute from close range.
The France forward put Juventus in front three minutes later after a long-range shot by Timothy Weah ricocheted off the striker and flew into the bottom corner of the net. Substitutes Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conceicao completed the rout.
Juventus provisionally moved up to fourth on 40 points, one point above fifth-placed Lazio who travel to Cagliari on Monday. Empoli are 17th on 21 points.
