Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was happy after their 1-1 draw with Empoli.

Tommaso Baldanzi struck on 70 minutes to cancel out Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic's 50th minute opener. Arek Milik saw red for Juve on 18 minutes.

Szczesny said, The incident had an influence on the match, we did well to get ourselves together again, but unfortunately we weren't able to come away with the victory.

With the quality players they have and with the ones they brought off the bench in the second half, it was always going to be hard not to concede. The draw is fair and it's not that bad (a result).

He added: We want to go again and we have no shortage of motivation. We will have a great challenge against Inter and we will go there trying to bring home the important points for our fight.

It hurts not to win at home, but the way things were going is a positive for us. We'll take it and prepare for the next one."
