Ronaldo, Dybala on song as Juventus conquer Genoa (Watch highlights: CR7’s missile, others)

Juventus cruised to another spectacular victory in the Serie A with goals from Paulo Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo and Douglas Costa.

The Bianconeri certainly turned on the style at Marassi to get the better of Genoa in a 3-1 victory.

Their strikers seemed almost to be in a separate contest to out-do each other with the most beautiful goal of the game.

The Old Lady needed a victory to maintain the four-point lead at the top of the table, as Lazio had already won 2-1 at Torino earlier this evening.

Meanwhile, the Grifone were one point above the relegation zone thanks to a comeback from 2-0 down to hold bottom club Brescia.

Juve have traditionally struggled at Marassi, losing three of their last six Serie A visits.

Perin was kept busy from the start, using his legs to parry a Federico Bernardeschi snapshot, then palming away the Cristiano Ronaldo scorcher.

Matthijs de Ligt had penalty appeals waved away for an Adama Soumaoro nudge in the back, but it was one-way traffic with Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and Bernardeschi all having pot-shots at Perin.

Dybala threaded through for Ronaldo, who stung Perin’s gloves at the near post from the tightest of angles.

The breakthrough finally came on 50 minutes with that man Dybala yet again, whose left foot has split open so many otherwise determined defences. This time, he went on a mini-slalom through defenders until stroking the finish into the far bottom corner from 13 yards.

Bernardeschi should’ve made it 2-0, but turned his header wide from Juan Cuadrado’s cross, although the goal did come moments later when Ronaldo gathered in midfield, ran forward and hit a right-foot screamer into the far top corner.

Juve players were lining up to out-do each other and substitute Douglas Costa gave his contribution for 3-0, a remote-controlled left-foot curler into the far top corner from the edge of the box, which dipped mercilessly past a helpless Perin.

Genoa had their first genuine shot on goal with Toni Sanabria on 76 minutes, cutting inside to hit it low and hard at the base of the near post, finding Wojciech Szczesny’s fingertips. On the resulting corner, Andrea Pinamonti got away from Cuadrado and anticipated De Ligt, smashing into the roof of the net from the tightest of angles.

Pinamonti almost snatched another on 86 minutes, as Szczesny had to rush off his line to anticipate the striker on an awful Cuadrado back-pass.
