Allegri: Right decision to drop Higuain

Higuain scored three goals in as many games leading up to the match against Inter on Sunday, but the Juve boss defended his decision to start with Mario Mandzukic.

The Italian claimed he opted for the Croatian as he wanted to take a more physical approach to the game.

"I thought about playing a physical game and I needed him when the match was in progress," he told 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'.

"I am convinced that the initial squad was right. But If I leave out Mario Mandzukic, you'll ask about him".

Juventus suffered their first defeat of the season after winning their first three league games.
