Juventus attacker Alessandro Matri has expressed his satisfaction with his side's performance in their 2-1 home win over Udinese in Saturday evening's Serie A encounter.

Matri gifted the Old Lady the lead shortly before the break, but the guests restored parity in the second half via Antonio Floro Flores. Nevertheless, the forward netted a second to help Juventus to the full three points.

"It was an important test, in which we showed great character for the way in which we managed to react to Udinese's equaliser," Matri explained on the club's official website.

"It's been a year packed full of emotions. Last year didn't end as we'd hoped, but now things are going well. The manager's doing a great job and even when we change our formation we're able to express ourselves to our best."

Juventus' next Serie A match is an away game versus Parma on Tuesday.
