That opener arrived with nine minutes on the clock as Cuadrado incredibly became the second Serie A player over the weekend to score straight from a corner (after Hakan Çalhanoğlu) when he whipped a beauty over the head of Salvatore Sirigu and into the far corner.

It is the eighth such goal in the Italian top flight since 2010 but despite the early boost, the Bianconeri didn’t put the game beyond doubt until the 82nd minute when Paulo Dybala arrowed a fantastic low finish across Sirigu and into the far corner.

With the win, Juventus close the gap on the Champions League positions to seven points.
