Watch: Higuain tears through Roma before rifling past Szczesny

Gonzalo Higuain has awakened from his slumber.

The €90-million Juventus signing struck a sweet opener in Saturday's marquee match against Roma, his 10th Serie A goal of the season and fourth tally in his past three matches.

His first few months with the Bianconeri were underwhelming, but he's now back to his barnstorming best. Higuain's ability to shrug off challenges matches his nose for goal, and he showed both in the 14th minute of play at Juventus Stadium.

Before rifling a shot past Wojciech Szczesny, the Argentinian bowled over Daniele De Rossi and ate yards of space in front of him to put him in a position to unleash a powerful strike.
