Monza have captured headlines around the football world as they recorded a 1-0 victory over Italian giants Juventus.
After securing promotion to Serie A last term, it’s the minnows’ first ever victory in the Italian top flight.
Monza went into the match at the bottom of the table and a clash with Juve posed a huge test, but the Italian giants endured a torrid afternoon as they fell to defeat.
Massimiliano Allegri watched the match from the stands after being sent off last Sunday in the 2-2 home draw against Salernitana after protesting a disallowed VAR goal.
What he saw will not have impressed him.
It was a poor first half in Monza with few opportunities to speak of from either side, however the game livened up just before half-time when Angel Di Maria was sent off for violent conduct.
That allowed the home side to increase the pressure on Juve, and they eventually made the breakthrough when experienced striker Christian Gytkjaer stabbed home from close range to make it 1-0.
