The Old Lady stumbles: Juventus still winless after draw with Chievo

For the first time since 1968-69, Juventus has failed to win a single fixture through the initial three matchdays of a Serie A season.

A 1-1 draw between the Old Lady and Chievo Verona at Juventus Stadium on Saturday allowed the reigning champion to tally its first point of the campaign but ultimately kept the club in search of its first victory, scratching its head and wondering what it could do to rectify its title defense.

It could've been worse for Juventus, too.

Entering the final 10 minutes of the match, Massimiliano Allegri's side found itself still trailing 1-0. Perparim Hetemaj, a player who hadn't scored in Serie A since April 2011, gave Chievo the lead in the fifth minute.

In the 82nd minute, however, Juan Cuadrado was brought down in Chievo's 18-yard box, allowing Paulo Dybala to convert from the penalty spot and rescue a point for Juventus.

The Old Lady has fallen, and she seems unable to get up.
