Cristiano Ronaldo scored to help Juventus move to the top of Serie A after beating Sampdoria 2-1 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday night.
Paulo Dybala opened the scoring for the Bianconeri, before Ronaldo found the net on the stroke of halftime after Gianluca Caprari, who was sent off for a second bookable offence late on, had equalised for the hosts.
The result means the Old Lady has gone above Inter Milan on goal difference ahead of Inter’s meeting with Genoa on Saturday.
Juve’s next game is the Supercoppa Italiana final against Lazio in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
