Juventus victories over Genoa, as Vlahovic's header provides Tudor with a second consecutive victory

Juventus clinches another victory, this time against Genoa, with Vlahovic's header securing a 1-0 success for Tudor's side.

In the ongoing Serie A season, Juventus have been turning heads under the guidance of new coach Igor Tudor. The Old Lady has lost only one of their 11 matches, winning seven and drawing three, since Tudor took over from Thiago Motta.

One player who has thrived under Tudor's leadership is striker Dusan Vlahovic. Since joining Juventus, Vlahovic has been under the tutelage of Tudor, and his form has been nothing short of impressive.

In the month of August alone, Vlahovic has scored an impressive 11 goals in 14 Serie A matches. His goal-scoring prowess has been unmatched, with a goals-per-game ratio of 0.79 among all players who have played at least 10 games in August in Serie A's three-points-for-a-win era.

The latest evidence of Vlahovic's form came in Juventus' 1-0 victory over Genoa. After a first half that was largely attritional with few chances created, Vlahovic came off the bench to provide the decisive moment. The winning goal was set up by Filip Kostic from a corner, with Nicola Leali, the Genoa goalkeeper, making several key saves to keep the scoreline tight.

Tudor made a triple substitution in the 62nd minute, which seemed to improve Juventus' performance. Federico Gatti was the first player to register a shot on target for Juventus in the 41st minute, but it was Vlahovic who ultimately sealed the win for the Old Lady.

Despite Juventus' strong start, it's important to note that they were stripped of their titles from the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons due to the Calciopoli scandal. However, under Tudor, the team is showing signs of a resurgence, with Vlahovic at the forefront.

Rumours continue to swirl about Vlahovic's future, with Newcastle United and Atletico Madrid reportedly interested in his services. For now, though, the focus is on Juventus' continued success in the Serie A.
