The goals just keep flowing for the Bianconeri.
Federico Bernardeschi, Paulo Dybala, Gonzalo Higuain and Juan Cuadrado each scored for Juventus as the Bianconeri defeated SPAL 4-1 on Wednesday night at the Allianz Stadium.
Juve picked up right where they left off in Udine on Sunday finding the first goal after just 14 minutes. A cross from Dybala was flicked by Douglas Costa to Bernardeschi and the summer signing spectacularly lashed a volley from the top of the box into the upper 90 to give Juventus a 1-0 lead.
Soon after the lead would be doubled through a familiar source. Dybala stepped up to a perfectly-placed free kick from about 25 yards out and curled a left-footed effort over the wall and into the back of the net in the 22nd minute for his 11th Serie A goal. It was also Dybala’s third directly from a free kick, the most of any player in a top-five European league this season.
However, the plucky underdogs from Ferrara wouldn’t go quietly. On their first serious attack of the match, SPAL pulled a goal back. A corner was taken short and sent into the box eventually finding its way to Alberto Paloschi who tapped in from close range in the 34th minute.
Normal service was resumed in the second half as Gonzalo Higuain gave the Bianconeri some breathing room in the 65th minute. A corner was flicked by Sami Khedira eventually landing at the feet of Higuain and the Argentine curled a left-footed shot into the far corner for his fourth Serie A goal of the season.
The Juventus attack would just keep rolling adding a fourth goal in the 70th minute. A peach of a cross from Costa was met by the head of substitute Juan Cuadrado and the Colombian beat Gomis for his second goal of the season and the 31st of the Serie A season after just 10 matches for Juventus.
The win keeps Juve three points behind Napoli at the top of the Serie A table. Up next for the Bianconeri is a trip to Milan for the first match at the San Siro this season for Juventus set for 18.00 on Saturday night.
