Two goals in three second half minutes helped Juventus complete a comprehensive win over Bologna. Kostic gave the hosts the lead in the first half, getting on the end of a pass from Vlahovic and sending the ball into the bottom corner. Despite the smart finish, it was the striker who made the goal, with the former Florentina man carrying the ball from inside the Juventus half to the outskirts of the opposition box. Despite dominating the opening 45 minutes, Allegri’s side started the second half slowly but ensured they left with all three points after two quickfire goals. Vlahovic and Milik were the scorers, with both finding the net against Bologna for the fifth time. First, it was the Serbian who struck, heading McKennie’s cross past Skorupski before Milik smashed in a volley moments later. It was a disappointing day for the travelling side, who are enduring their worst start to a season since the 2014/15 campaign.
Next up, Juventus host Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League. As for Bologna, they play at home against Sampdoria in Serie A
That's all for today. Goodbye.

Bologna gets the second half underway.21:46
With the height of Milik and Vlahovic leading the attack, Juventus must add to the 12 crosses that they attempted in the first half. The duo and McKennie have regularly found themselves unmarked in the middle of the box and should have done better with their attempts towards the goal. As for Bologna, they must support Sansone a lot more down the left, with the attacker having little to no help when bursting down the left on the counter. They must also look to get Arnautovic more involved, with the striker yet to have a shot.21:42
Juventus go into the break with a narrow lead over Bologna. The deadlock was broken by Kostic, who tucked the ball into the bottom corner, but the goal was made by Vlahovic. Bursting forward on the counter, the striker carried the ball from his own half to just outside the opposition box before picking out the Serbian who rushed forward on his left. Milik should have added a second with 15 minutes of the first half remaining, but he directed Sandro's cross straight at Skorupski. Bologna had just one clear opportunity in the opening 45 minutes, with De Silvestri knocking a tame effort right at Szczesny.21:38

29'
Juventus have a record of W2, D1, L0 when scoring the opening goal at home in the Serie A this season.21:15
27'
Kostic looks to return the favour by looking for Vlahovic inside the box but the striker runs the wrong way and the goalkeeper claims the ball. 21:14
24'

24'
GOOALLLL! KOSTIC SCORES! 1-0 JUVENTUS! Juventus take the lead through Kostic. On the counter, Vlahovic breaks through the middle of the pitch with players streaming forward on either side. Looking for options, he plays the ball down the left towards Kostic who directs the ball into the bottom corner.
Juventus have dominated the ball so far, keeping 64.7 per cent of possession. Bologna are sitting deep, waiting to break on the counter.21:08

McKennie has another header inside the box, but this time he is under pressure from Sosa, with the goalkeeper catching his deflected effort with ease.21:04
17'
Rabiot hassles the ball off of Schouten with the ball rolling to Vlahovic. The striker thinks he's away and runs towards the goal, but the referee pulls it back for a free-kick.21:03
14'
Chance for Juventus. Kostic crosses from deep towards McKennie, but the midfielder can only direct his header into the palms of Skorupski. He was free in the middle and should have done better with the attempt.21:00
