MIRALEM PJANIC’S stunning effort and a late header from Cristiano Ronaldo saw Juventus move top of Serie A with a 2-0 victory over struggling SPAL.

Juve dominated throughout Saturday’s encounter in Turin, but they found visiting goalkeeper Etrit Berisha in fine form.

It took a sublime strike from Pjanic to beat him — the playmaker breaking SPAL’s resistance with a wonderful effort in the 45th minute.

Having been denied by Berisha once more just after the hour, Ronaldo finally got his goal with 12 minutes remaining, heading home from Paulo Dybala’s pinpoint cross to cap off a dominant Juve performance. On his return after missing the victory over Brescia, Ronaldo had Juve’s first sight of goal, drawing a smart stop from Berisha. (SD-Agencies)
