MIDFIELDER Charly Alcaraz registered his first Juventus assist on Sunday evening in their 2-1 defeat to Napoli.

It came on the Argentine's first start for the Old Lady, having joined the Italian giants on loan until the end of the season.

Although credited with the assist, the goal was very much the doing of Federico Chiesa, who powered in a low shot from just inside the box after receiving a simple pass from Alcaraz.

That goal levelled things for Massimiliano Allegri's side before Giacomo Raspadori scored an 88th-minute winner.

Beyond his assist, Alcaraz completed 16 of his 21 passes during a 90-minute performance and won just two of his 10 duels. 

Speaking after the game, Juventus boss Allegri said: "Alcaraz had a good game, he just needs to improve.

"Tonight it was nice to see the team helping each other. It's sad because we leave here defeated."
