Juventus were once again frustrated in Serie A after Ante Rebic's last-gasp leveller saw them held to a 1-1 draw by Lecce.

Nikola Krstovic's dazzling run and spectacular cross paved the way for substitute Rebic to equalise in the third minute of stoppage time on Sunday.

Andrea Cambiaso had opened the scoring in the 68th minute as his tame shot fortuitously deflected off Kialonda Gaspar and past helpless goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone.

Thiago Motta's side should have been ahead earlier in the first half, with Khephren Thuram missing a gilt-edged chance just seven minutes into the clash after fine work from Kenan Yildiz.

Timothy Weah also saw a goal disallowed for offside after converting on the rebound when Falcone parried Teun Koopmeiners' long-range effort.

An eighth draw in just 14 league games this season left Juve sixth in the table and six points adrift of leaders Napoli, while Lecce sit 16th, two points clear of the relegation zone.

Data Debrief: Familiar face haunts Juve

Juve are one of only three remaining unbeaten teams in the Europe's top five leagues this season, along with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, but the manner of this draw will frustrate Motta.

Sunday marked an 18th draw for Juve in top-flight action in 2024, their most in club history across a single calendar year, surpassing the 17 way back in 1956.

It was a familiar face that thwarted Juve, too, with Rebic involved in his fifth Serie A goal against the Bianconeri (four goals, one assist), his joint-most versus one opponent in the competition (Torino, also five).
