GENOA, Italy (Reuters) – Striker Dusan Vlahovic scored twice to help Juventus to a 3-0 win at Genoa in Serie A on Saturday as Thiago Motta’s side moved top of the standings.
Vlahovic converted from the spot when Juventus were awarded a penalty for a handball following halftime before he scored again in the 55th minute from a tight angle. Substitute Francisco Conceicao sealed the win with a low, one-touch finish late on.
The game in Genoa was played behind closed doors after crowd violence during their Coppa Italia fixture against Serie B side Sampdoria left more than 50 people injured.
Juventus, who drew each of their last three league games 0-0, top the table with 12 points from six games, one point ahead of second-placed Torino who host Lazio on Sunday.
