Juventus came from behind to secure only their second league win of the season as bottom club Bologna lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Serie A champions Juventus, recovering from their worst start to a season, fell behind to Anthony Mounier's well-taken early goal.

But the home side levelled before half-time as Alvaro Morata headed his first league goal of the season.

Paulo Dybala scored a second-half penalty and Sami Khedira added a third.

After taking only a point from their first three games, Juventus have won two and drawn one of their last four to climb into mid-table.

Their domestic form had been nothing like their start to their Champions League campaign - they won their opening two games in Group D, including a 2-1 win at Manchester City.

But their second-half performance against a Bologna side struggling in the top flight following promotion last season suggested Juventus are starting to get back to their best.

Morata missed an excellent chance before he was fouled by Alex Ferrari to allow Dybala to score his fourth goal of the season from the spot.

Juve's former Real Madrid midfielder Khedira, making his first league appearance after injury, capped an impressive performance by nodding in at the far post.
