#2 Lorenzo Insigne's Jekyll and Hyde

With only eight goals and five assists in the league in 23 appearances, Insigne has been uncharacteristically below par this season but with a fine performance against Juventus, showed he hasn't really lost his golden touch.

The Italian striker was all guns blazing, taking the game to Juventus with his intelligent movements and brilliant crosses. He made bunnies out of the Bianconeri defence with amazing dribbles, completing four out of six he attempted, the most by any player in the match.

Insigne also laid a further six key passes, in what was a clinical demonstration of his offensive output. However, he came up short on two big occasions.

The 27-year old first blasted his penalty against the post to spurn a crucial chance to equalise, before wasting another opportunity in the final moments when sent through by Ouna.
