Everton loanee Moise Kean has come under fire from sections of the Italian media for his display in Juventus‘ draw with Salernitana on Sunday night.
Kean was labelled ‘the worst’ for his performance and was sarcastically applauded when substituted at the start of the second half for Arkadiusz Milik.
The Old Lady fought back from 2-0 down to salvage a last-gasp 2-2 draw at the Allianz Stadium with Brazilian centre-back Gleison Bremer and Leonardo Bonucci proving decisive for Max Allegri’s men.
Moise Kean was handed his first start of the season for Juventus but failed to take his chance
But controversy struck deep into injury time when Kean’s replacement Milik appeared to have scored a late winner and celebrated by taking off his shirt which earned him a second yellow card and subsequent dismissal.
The intervention of VAR ruled out the Polish striker’s goal but his red card stood, sparking almighty on-pitch brawl with two other players red carded along with Allegri.
Whilst Kean was off the pitch and away from the controversy, the Italian media were unforgiving in their assessment of the 22-year-old, who was making his first start of the season.

Kean was awarded a rating of 4.5/10 by Gazzetta dello Sport, with Corriere dello Sport giving him 4/10.
Both labelled the striker as ‘the worst,’ ‘lazy’ and ‘at times irritating’, in their Monday morning publications and pointed out that ‘every time Allegri gives him a chance, he wastes it’.
