The Real Madrid defender is supposed to lead by example but he was as petulant as he was vulnerable in Wednesday's dismal loss to Tottenham
WINNER: GONZALO HIGUAIN
Just over a week ago, Gonzalo Higuain was under immense pressure. He had endured a very difficult start to the season for Juventus, scoring just four goals in the opening 12 matches in all competitions.

Higuain received a pass from Juan Cuadrado and brilliantly dinked the ball over onrushing goalkeeper Rui Patricio to earn Juve a point that will probably prove to be the difference between qualification and elimination.
