""Spalletti watched on as a lacklustre league encounter at Stadio Artemio Franchi was punctuated by two moments of individual brilliance from Filip Kostic and Rolando Mandragora. Juventus went into the break a goal to the good when Manuel Locatelli's blocked shot fell to Kostic, who took aim and rifled the ball from 25 yards into the bottom-left corner. But Fiorentina drew level three minutes after the restart when Mandragora sent a rasping drive beyond Michele Di Gregorio, with neither side able to find a winner.""
""We were too predictable in the first half and made too many technical mistakes," Spalletti said as quoted by IlBianconero. "Those are errors we simply can't afford because our level has to be higher. It was a difficult match against a side eager to react. "Vanoli gives energy and aggression to his players. We know him well. But we've been chosen to do more, and we absolutely need to raise the level.""
Juventus drew 1-1 with Fiorentina after Filip Kostic scored from 25 yards following Manuel Locatelli's blocked shot, and Rolando Mandragora equalised three minutes after the restart. The match produced few clear chances; Juventus registered an expected goals (xG) of 1.4 from 17 shots but managed only four on target. The draw left Juventus sixth in Serie A and five points behind leaders Napoli. Luciano Spalletti criticised predictability and technical mistakes, insisting the team must raise their level. Spalletti has won once in his first four games in charge and has drawn three of those fixtures.
