Juventus manager Igor Tudor applauded Dusan Vlahovic for his commitment after the forward came off the bench to score their second goal in a nervy 2-0 win over Udinese on Sunday which could prove crucial in the race for a Champions League spot.<\/p>\n
Nico Gonzalez put the hosts ahead just after the hour-mark but the game was still in the balance when Vlahovic was introduced in the 73rd minute.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old, who is coming into the final year of his contract and has been linked with a move away from the club this summer, lifted Juve immediately and made the game safe with their second goal two minutes from time.<\/p>\n
Juventus are fourth in Serie A on 67 points, one point ahead of Roma and two ahead of Lazio, with one game remaining in the season.<\/p>\n
“Vlahovic had a great impact, played with heart, and proved his value,” said Croatian Tudor, whose contract runs until the end of the season.<\/p>\n
“He sacrificed for the team and played a good game.”<\/p>\n
Tudor, who took over from Thiago Motta in March and has lost just one of his eight games in charge, said his side had delivered a team performance against strong opposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
