Juventus' Antonio Conte: We were not arrogant against Cagliari

The Turin side's head coach rued the Bianconeri's missed chances on Sunday, but felt a draw was an acceptable result for the table-toppers

Juventus boss Antonio Conte stressed that the Old Lady were not arrogant in their 1-1 draw against Cagliari on Sunday.

The Turin giants took an early lead via Mirko Vucinic, but failed to double their advantage and were made to pay when Andrea Cossu restored parity after the interval.

"I don't think we were arrogant, because we never stopped fighting for a good result. We are on an 18-match unbeaten run, and I'd say that a draw against Cagliari is acceptable," Conte said during the post-match press conference.

"We made a great start to the game and scored an early goal. However, we missed too many chances after that.

"We struggled after the equaliser and were unable to bounce back. I can't be satisfied with the result, but it's acceptable."

Juventus top the Serie A table with 38 points from 18 games, but will drop to second if AC Milan beat Inter in Sunday's Derby della Madonnina.
