In the duel of 4 rounds of Serie A between Juventus and Sassuolo (2-1), midfielder "Bianco Neri" Douglas Costa earned the removal for a header, and then spitting in the face of forward rival Federico Di Francesco.

This behavior of the player angered the head coach Juventus Massimiliano Allegri:.

"We could score the third goal, but our players for some reason began to abuse individual actions, trying to beat everyone alone".

"All this eventually led to a lot of skirmishes, as with Douglas Costa".

"Perhaps Douglas was annoyed with a foul against himself in the previous episode, but in any case such behavior is unacceptable".

"You can not respond to provocation," concluded Allegri.

Note that in the match against Sassuolo Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 400th goal in the national championships.
