Cristiano Ronaldo tied Zlatan at the top of Serie A top scorer list as he helped Juve with a 3-1 victory over Genoa.
Another match, another three points for Juventus – who extend their unbeaten run in Serie A to 11 to start the year.
Dybala’s slotted opener was cancelled out surprisingly by a Sturaro volley – but two late penalties conceded in a sloppy final 15 minutes by Rovella and Perin allowed Ronaldo and the Bianconeri to take and then double the lead.
The hosts were clinical, scoring with one of only two shots on target, but ultimately failed to sustain pressure on a comfortable Juventus defence.
After having three goals cancelled out for various infringements, the Bianconeri will just be happy with the win; a result that cuts their distance from the top to three points ahead of Milan’s match later on.
Next up Genoa travel to face league leaders Milan in three days, while Juventus return to Turin to host Atalanta.
