The loss to Fiorentina also ended the Old Lady's five-match unbeaten run at home in Serie A having registered two draws and three victories during that period.
Andrea Pirlo, the Juventus manager, says it is back to the drawing board following his side's defeat to Fiorentina as he hopes to revive the team's desire.
“We entered with the wrong attitude and when you go on the pitch like this, you go against bad figures, then there we were down to 10 men, and at that point it was difficult to recover," Pirlo said.
"Sometimes it happens that we are not 100%, but in the second half we entered with the right mentality. It could have been better.
"Now we have to start again with desire, thinking about the mistakes we made and carrying out our project.”
