Serie A results: Juventus batter Genoa to cement lead in Serie A table, Lazio defeat Torino

Juventus saw off an important challenge with a 3-1 victory against Genoa away from the Allianz Stadium. Despite an unimpressive display in the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and Douglas Costa scored for Maurizio Sarri, all three strikes coming from outside the box, to edge past a difficult opponent. Although Andrea Pinamonti pulled one back, Genoa could not claw their way back into the game.

Olimpico di Torino witnessed a sensational Lazio comeback against Torino on Matchday 29. Andrea Belotti converted from a spot-kick in the 5th minute after a hand-ball. Despite conceding early, Lazio did not let their guard down and began overpowering Torino. Their efforts finally paid off when Ciro Immobile equalised within minutes of the second half, followed by a deflected goal from Marco Parolo to seal the win for Lazio.
