Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri was delighted with their 3-1 win at Atalanta.

Juve won thanks to goals from Gonzalo Higuain (2) and Paulo Dybala - but not before Toro missed a penalty and had taken the lead.

It was an entertaining game with tempo and intensity, the kind you don't usually see in Serie A," Sarri told Sky Sport Italia.

We lost our heads after their missed penalty, thinking of everything except the game of football and allowed Atalanta to take total control. They deservedly went in front.

We were fortunate to score the equaliser in a chaotic move against the run of play and from there on showed belief we could win it."

He also spoke of the absent Cristiano Ronaldo: I hope he'll be back for the Champions League on Tuesday. He has this little problem that is above all affecting him in training, as he's struggling to train consistently.

A lot depends on how the lad feels, the fatigue and the need he has at any moment to rest. He felt, and I fully agreed, it was important right now to find a way of training that wouldn't put extra pressure on the knee.

It's a solid knee, there are no lesions, but constantly having that pain does take it out of you. I was happy to rest him, as I felt the same way, that it was best to take this time to first of all rest and secondly analyse training methods to see how he could train differently."
