Juventus jumped out to an early 2-0 lead over Sassuolo on Sunday, and as has been the case since Massimiliano Allegri switched to a 4-2-3-1 formation, both Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala were heavily involved.

The former opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a clever run that saw him bamboozle Francesco Acerbi before prodding the ball home.

The hefty frontman, who now has 15 Serie A goals on the campaign, then played provider, his low cross making way for a Dybala dummy that allowed Sami Khedira to double the Bianconeri advantage.
