Milan: Teenage starlet Moise Kean came off the bench to score a last-gasp winner with his maiden Serie A goal as Juventus closed their record-setting season with a 2-1 win at Bologna on Saturday.
Fresh from securing a record third successive league and Cup double, Juventus looked to be heading for a disappointing draw after Paulo Dybala levelled Saphir Taider’s superb 52nd minute strike on 70 minutes.
But Kean, who replaced Argentina playmaker Dybala with 11 minutes to play, had the final say for the Turin giants with a great diving header from Miralem Pjanic’s free kick in the 94th minute.
It was the first goal scored in Serie A by a player born in 2000 or after, and has underlined 17-year-old Kean’s bright future after being given his debut by Massimiliano Allegri earlier this season.
Juve’s 29th win of the campaign left the champions, who secured a record sixth consecutive scudetto with a 3-0 win over Crotone last week and face Real Madrid in the June 3 Champions League final, top of the pile seven points ahead of second-placed Roma.
Allegri said they will soak up their domestic success before beginning to focus on Real from Monday.
“The season right now is great, we have our final game in Cardiff but we’ll only focus on that from Monday,” said Allegri, who has steered Juve to two Champions League finals in three years.
“All that’s left is for us to play, and try to win.”
On Kean, he added: “Naturally, I’m very happy with Kean who, along with (goalkeeper, Emil) Audero can look forward to some more playing time next season.
