Juventus 4-0 Udinese
Current Champions Juventus extended their lead at the top of Serie A to 5 points with an impressive 4 goal home victory against Udinese. It took until the 40th minute to find the opening goal, but it was well worth the wait! Former Manchester United youngster Paul Pogba fired an unstoppable half volley from 25 yards leaving the keeper with no chance. And it was Pogba again who doubled Juventus' lead 20 minutes into the second half with another fantastic goal, this time a low drive from distance. It was 3-0 six minutes later when Marko Vucinic volleyed home from close range, the Udinese keeper will be disappointed with his effort. The win was capped off by Matri who beat the offside trap and slotted under the advancing keeper.
Man of the Match: Paul Pogba

Palermo leveled the score in the 71st minute when Lazio were able to clear a teasing cross that was tucked home at the back post by Arevalo. The side in pink where then in front less than 60 seconds later Dybala slotted home after being teed up by Arevalo. But Lazio showed spirit that has seen them take hold of second place and when Floccari won a penalty with 5 minutes to go, Hernanes slotted home from 12 yards to gain a valuable point.
