Weah found himself open at the top of the box and rifled a long-range effort off the crossbar and just over the line for his first league goal after 31 games.

It means he is just the second American to score in both Serie A and Ligue 1 (formerly of Lille and Paris Saint Germain).

13 - Timothy Weah is the 13th #USMNT player to score a goal in more than one of the top 5 European leagues and the first to do so in both Ligue 1 and Serie A. Unique.

However, the pleasantries wouldn’t last long as Weah was forced off with an apparent hamstring injury before half-time.

Juventus manager Thiago Motta will hope there is nothing serious after seeing his lightning quick start to the season.
