Juventus edged a topsy-turvy Group A encounter 3-2 with Olympiacos to put themselves in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Andrea Pirlo, making his 100th appearance in Europe's premier club competition, lit the touchpaper with his goal from a trademark free-kick, but Alberto Botia's header restored parity moments later.
After an hour the destiny of the points swung towards the Greek champions briefly as Delvin Ndinga caught Juve cold with a headed goal.

Fernando Llorente and Paul Pogba then orchestrated the game's second comeback with the Spaniard forcing Roberto to put through his own net before setting up his French team-mate to score.
Juve had done enough to secure their 3-2 win but were thwarted in their last attempt to extend the margin of victory as Arturo Vidal missed a penalty deep into stoppage time.
Massimiliano Allegri's side are now level on six points with Olympiacos ahead of meetings with group leaders Atletico Madrid and fourth-placed Malmo. ...SkySports
