Substitute Dejan Kulusevski scored late as Juventus won 1-0 at Zenit St Petersburg to preserve its perfect start to the Champions League. Kulusevski headed in the only goal of the match four minutes from time as Juventus added to its wins against Malmo and Chelsea.

"I'm very happy for the team and for myself, it's my first goal in the Champions League," said Kulusevski, who was brought on in the 58th minute.

"It's a very important win for the team. I tried to make the difference when I came on but it was very difficult at the beginning. But the ball can come to you at any time. I was ready at the right moment."
