Juventus defender Patrice Evra has admitted that he has mixed emotions following his side's 1-1 draw with Sampdoria.
The 33-year-old scored his first goal for the club since joining from Manchester United in the summer, but it was cancelled out by Manolo Gabbiadini's effort early in the second half.
"My goal would've counted for more if we had won," Evra told JTV. "I am happy to have scored, but disappointed by the result, as we had the game in hand during the first half. If we'd scored another goal, it would've been over.
"We had talked before the game and wanted to start all guns blazing. At the end of the day we did it, but missed the second goal and paid for that in the second half.
"We are disappointed, but still top of the table and are focused on the next match. Juve must begin again as winners. We dropped two points and need to beat Cagliari next week. Juve have incredible character, so I have no doubts we'll achieve our aims."
Juventus are currently one point clear of Roma at the top of the Serie A table.
