    FT: Juventus 2-0 Lazio. The hosts claim a solid win in the end thanks to goals from Mario Mandzukic and Mirlame Pjanic's first-half stunner.

    GOAL! JUVENTUS! MANDZUKIC! 2-0! This really isn't Cristiano Ronaldo's day! Joao Cancelo's low cross from the right looks destined to reach Ronaldo at the far post for a tap-in, but Strakosha again manages to get fingertips on the ball. The change in trajectory of the delivery leaves Ronaldo able only to spoon the ball up in the air with the goal gaping, but Mandzukic is on hand to volley into the unguarded net. Ronaldo lets out a wry smile. Juve are heading to victory!

    GOAL! JUVENTUS! PJANIC! 1-0! It's not Ronaldo, but it's a wonderful goal! A cross from the right winds up landing at the feet of Pjanic on the edge of the box and he takes aim first time, cutting across the ball beautifully to volley beyond Strakosha and into the bottom corner. Great strike!
