Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo was delighted with his players for their 2-1 defeat of Udinese.
Nahuel Molina gave Udinese the lead before a late double from Cristiano Ronaldo delivered the points for the visitors.
“This victory arrived with determination and fight. We once again made life complicated for ourselves, but we wanted to bring home the result right to the end and that's what is important," Pirlo told Sky Italia.
“It was particularly crucial considering the results from this afternoon. This is a group, it's strong, it wants to fight for its targets and we never lacked that. Sometimes the attitude during games was not worthy of Juventus, but the final embrace was a show of our unity. Now we need to continue with this spirit."
Pirlo added: “I thought it'd be a bit less stressful and emotional, but when you win games like this at the end, it gives you the energy to keep going."
