Arkadiusz Milik went through an emotional rollercoaster as Juventus split the points with Salernitana in an exciting four-goal thriller.

Juventus clawed from two goals down to share the spoils with the visitors as Massimiliano Allegri's men picked up a solitary point from a losing position.

The record Serie A champions continued their slow start to the season, picking their fourth draw in six outings this season.

Bremer halved the deficit six minutes after recess before Leonardo Bonucci equalized in the third minute of stoppage time.

Milik, who joined Juve this summer, sent the supporters into seventh heaven when he thought he had netted the match-winner in the 96th minute.

However, his goal was ruled out due to Bonucci, who was in an offside position, interfering with the play.

His agony went from bad to worse when he received a second yellow card - and invariably a red card - for celebrating by taking his shirt off.

Milik was not the only Juventus player to receive his marching orders as teammate Juan Cuadrado and coach Allegri all saw red to climax an exciting game.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Juventus came back from two goals down at half-time to draw 2-2 in an incident-packed match with Salernitana on Sunday as Atalanta gave up the Serie A lead after a 1-1 draw with Cremonese.

Massimiliano Allegri's Juve drew for the fourth time this season but the point shared doesn't tell the story of a match which ended with four red cards being shown after Arkadiusz Milik's last-gasp winner was ruled out following a VAR check.

The Poland striker sent the Allianz Stadium into raptures with a glancing header five minutes into stoppage time, but the goal was chalked off for Leonardo Bonucci being offside and interfering with play.
