A goal and an assist from Jonathan David inspired Juventus to a convincing 3-0 victory over Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium Citta del Tricolore, sealing their eighth win in the last 10 matches across all competitions and defying pre-match predictions.
Coming into the contest, Juve were keen to bounce back after being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Lecce last time out, a result that briefly stalled their momentum in the race for a top-four finish in Serie A. Few, however, expected such a one-sided outcome, with Softfootball having tipped the game to end in a 1-1 draw . Instead, the Bianconeri delivered a dominant display from start to finish.
Sassuolo threatened early when Kristian Thorstvedt dragged a shot wide inside the opening five minutes, but that proved to be as good as it got for the hosts. From then on, Juventus took control, with Kenan Yildiz causing constant problems. The Turkish youngster forced goalkeeper Arijanet Muric into four saves before the break, three of them to deny powerful efforts from close range.
