| Gonzalo Higuain celebrating after his double |
Gonzalo Higuain was at the double as three goals in the space of five second-half minutes sealed a 3-0 victory for Serie A leaders Juventus against struggling Empoli on Sunday.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side dominated proceedings throughout at Stadio Carlo Castellani but were not rewarded for their efforts until after the hour-mark, Paulo Dybala drilling in his first Serie A goal of the season.
That strike was swiftly followed up by Dybala’s compatriot Higuain, the former Real Madrid forward slotting in from the edge of the area before capitalising on Marco Zambelli’s error to add a third.
Good result for Juve as they head into the international break by topping the log followed by Napoli who are now the stronger side to oppose the unopposed Champions.
