Weston McKennie, what an assist! USMNT international provides superb delivery for Dusan Vlahovic winner as Juventus edge past Frosinone

With the score locked at 1-1 with less than 10 minutes left to play, USMNT and Juventus star McKennie found Dusan Vlahovic with a pinpoint cross from the right flank. The Serbian striker expertly guided his header into the far corner of the goal, but it wouldn't have been possible without the midfielder's technical brilliance. Timothy Weah exchanged passes with McKennie before the ball was swung into the box, so the young attacker is entitled to a little credit too.

Juventus debutant Kenan Yildiz put Juventus ahead in spectacular fashion in the 12th minute when he fired into the bottom corner after dribbling past three Frosinone defenders.

The hosts drew level early in the second half when Jaime Baez finished smartly after being played in behind the Juve back line.

It looked like Juve were heading for a second consecutive draw, but Vlahovic connected with McKennie's superb cross to secure all three points and move within a point of table-toppers Internazionale.

After starting the first two games of the season on the bench, Massimiliano Allegri has included McKennie in his starting XI in Juventus' last 15 Serie A matches. The quality of his assist for Vlahovic showed why he's a starter at a top European club, and his place in Gregg Berhalter's USMNT is almost certainly locked in.

Weah has found starts a lot harder to come by; the 23-year-old has started just four Serie A games this term, although he did miss five matches with a hamstring injury. His return from injury and involvement with Juventus can only be a good thing for the USMNT.

Weston McKennie (7/10):

Struggled to make an attacking impact in the first half but contributed more after half-time. The crossbar denied him a spectacular scissor-kick goal. Excellent cross for Vlahovic winner.

Timothy Weah (6/10):

Introduced from the bench for the final 20 minutes having recently returned from injury. Threatened on the break and provided some good crosses.

McKennie and Weah will look to contribute to Juventus' crunch clash with Roma on December 30. The US will face Slovenia in a friendly in January, although the duo will likely be absent as the match does not coincide with a European international break.
