Juventus eased to a 3-0 win against Chievo Verona on Monday night in Turin to extend their lead in Serie A over the chasing pack.
Douglas Costa opened the scoring for the hosts before the quarter hour, finishing off a mazy run from a counter-attack with a 20-yard strike to beat Chievo keeper Stefano Sorrentino.
Juventus took a 2-0 lead to the dressing room after Paulo Dybala set up Emre Can for the easiest of finishes following an intricate team move just before the half-time whistle.
Cristiano Ronaldo missed a chance to extend Juve's lead from the penalty spot just after the break when Sorrentino denied his attempt after a Mattia Bani handball in the box.
Juventus ultimately found their third before full-time through a Daniele Rugani header from close range after Chievo conceded a free kick just outside the left edge of their penalty area.
The win restores Juventus' nine-point lead over second-placed Napoli in the Serie A table, with a trip to Rome to face Lazio on Jan. 27 next up for the Italian champions.
