Juventus win to go six points clear

TURIN, Italy: Juventus forward Paulo Dybala scored another exquisite goal and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon kept his 10th successive clean sheet in the league to give the Serie A leaders a 1-0 win over Sassuolo on Friday.

Dybala curled a shot in off the inside of the post for his 14th league goal of the season to put Juve, chasing a fifth successive title, on 67 points and six clear of Napoli who visit Palermo on Sunday (today).

Dybala nearly got Juve off to a flying start with a vicious, dipping shot that Andrea Consigli tipped over the bar.

“It wasn’t my best ever goal. I scored a similar one once for Palermo, but it wasn’t bad,” Dybala told reporters. “We fell away a little in the second half but today’s win was really important,” he added.
