Massimiliano Allegri was grateful after Alex Sandro s cynical red card helped Juventus to a 1-0 win over bottom-placed Hellas Verona on Thursday.
Moise Kean s strike with half an hour to play looked to be enough for Juve to make it five victories and five clean sheets in a row, but in injury time, a Thomas Henry throughball put Kevin Lasagna in on goal.
However, Sandro barged Lasagna over before the Verona forward reached the box and though the full-back was sent off, the resulting free-kick was skied over and Juve saw the game out to secure the three points.
Allegri was delighted after the match with his side s dogged performance and Sandro s unselfish decision to take Lasagna down, telling Sky Sport: Alex Sandro s red card is worth a goal.
He should no…
