If Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci was six-foot-one, Gonzalo Higuain would be sitting on 25 Serie A goals this season.
The six-foot-two defender used every last inch of his frame to deny the Napoli striker of what looked a certain tap-in during the opening half of Saturday's top-of-the-table clash between the two sides at the Juventus Stadium. Bonucci stretched out and got his toe on what looked destined to be a pinpoint cross onto the Argentine's awaiting head.
Whatever Bonucci's yoga routine is, it's paying dividends.
