Juventus vs Sassuolo LIVE: Cristiano Ronaldo scores his first goals in Serie A as Douglas Costa sees red

Follow the latest from the Serie A encounter in Turin

Cristiano Ronaldo unveiled as a Juventus player

Cristiano Ronaldo continues his search for a first goal since joining Juventus in the summer as they take on Sassuolo in Serie A looking to maintain their perfect start to the season.

The £100m acquisition has not been able to rekindle his incredible goalscoring feat from his Real Madrid days since arriving in Turin, but manager Massimiliano Allegri believes today is the day for Ronaldo to break his duck after insisting “he will score” against Sassuolo. Ronaldo should at least head into the game fresh as he was left out of the Portugal squad during the international break in order to focus on his new club, having shown signs of fatigue after his World Cup commitments.

But the Modena-based Sassuolo are one of the surprise packages in Italy this season, as they head to the Allianz Stadium unbeaten this season following wins over Genoa and Inter Milan and a 2-2 draw with Cagliari.
