WATCH: Weston McKennie helps break the deadlock! USMNT star provides delicate cross in build-up to winning goal as Juventus triumph over Lecce

  • McKennie plays a part in winning goal
  • Played right wing-back
  • Fourth-straight start in Serie A

WHAT HAPPENED? The 25-year-old sent a looping cross to the back post, where he found Adrien Rabiot, with the Frenchman then laying the ball off to striker Arkadiusz Milik to finish off the move. The goal would end up as the winner, as the Bianconeri earned all three points to move up to third in the Serie A standings.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: McKennie, who is playing out of position, has continually shown consistency for the Serie A giants, but it's baffling to see him still being used in a wide position. Regardless, he's proving his worth to boss Massimiliano Allegri with performances like this one, and it doesn't look likely that he'll lose his starting spot any time soon.
