Timothy Weah was the best Juventus player against Parma, but Enrico Del Prato practically scored twice in a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Stadium.

Juventus were held to a 2-2 draw by strugglers Parma on Wednesday, slipping seven points below table leaders Napoli.

American winger Weah was involved in both Juventus goals, providing an assist for McKennie in the first half and scoring his second consecutive goal after the break.

It was not enough for the Old Lady to get all three points, as Delprato and Sohm had given Parma the lead twice in the first half.

Delprato practically scored a second goal in the stoppages as he pulled off a remarkable goal-line clearance at minute 94 to avoid a late Kenan Yildiz winner.

Juventus 2-2 Parma – Player ratings

Juventus: Di Gregorio 6.5; Cambiaso 6.5, Gatti 5, Danilo 4.5, Cabal 5.5 (59′ Savona 6); Locatelli 6.5; Conceiçao 7, Thuram 6.5 (84′ Fagioli N/A), McKennie 7 (71′ Koopmeiners 5.5), Weah 8 (59′ Yildiz 5.5); Vlahovic 5. Coach: Motta 5.

Best Juventus Player: Weah 8 – Scored his second consecutive goal and it was crucial again. Before that, he had provided a perfect assist for his compatriot McKennie. Reborn.

Lowest Juventus rating: Danilo 4.5 – Once again poor with and without the ball. Often in the wrong position, he’s been the shadow of his former self since the start of the season. To say that he’s low in confidence is an understatement.

Juventus coach: Thiago Motta 5Another draw and two more goals conceded. Juventus’ defence hasn’t been the same since Bremer’s injury, and upfront, they are often slow and predictable unless Conceiçao has the ball.

Parma: Suzuki 6.5; Coulibaly 6, Delprato 8, Balogh 6.5, Hainaut 6.5; Keita 6 (46′ Hernani 5.5 (74′ Camara 6.5)), Sohm 7; Man 7 (84′ Cancellieri N/A), Bernabé 7, Mihaila 6 (69′ Almqvist 5.5); Bonny 6 (69′ Charpentier). Coach: Pecchia 6.5

Best Parma Player: Delprato 8 – You may see his name on the scoresheet once, but he practically scored twice, as his goal-line clearance at minute 94 was just as important as a goal. Brilliant defending.

Parma coach: Pecchia 6.5 – A former Juventus midfielder and U23 coach, Pecchia tricked the Old Lady in Turin with an intense performance. The Ducali played openly for 60 minutes and then accepted to sit back and counter-attack in the final half-hour. They even had a few chances to win it. Massive confidence boost.
