He scored the equalizer for the Italian champions from the penalty spot midway into the second half after Sassuolo had come from behind to take a 2-1 lead.
Former Chelsea player Jeremie Boga and Italian striker Francesco Caputo scored either side of the halftime interval to overturn the opening goal of the game by Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci.
