XtraTime Web Desk: Juventus Coach Andrea Pirlo got his coaching career off to a winning start as his side began their quest for a 10th successive Serie A title with a 3-0 win over Sampdoria at the Juventus stadium on Sunday.


Dejan Kulusevski, signed from Atalanta, scored on his debut in the 13th minute with only his sixth touch of the ball in a Juventus shirt before defender Leonardo Bonucci and Cristiano Ronaldo added two more in the last 15 minutes.


Both sides went into the breather with Juve leading 1-0. Leonardo Bonucci doubled the lead for the reigning champions in the 78th minute after Sampdoria defenders failed to clear a corner. McKennie's effort was saved by Emil Audero, Bonucci snapped up the rebound. Ten minutes later, Aaron Ramsey released Ronaldo and the Portuguese opened his account for the season by drilling his shot into the far corner.
