Juventus 1-0 Sassuolo: Host sets new clean sheet record and goes six points clear

Juventus extended its advantage at the top of Serie A with a narrow, but deserved home win over Sassuolo.

Juventus set a new Serie A clean sheet record and moved six points clear of Napoli at the top of Serie A with a 1-0 home victory over Sassuolo on Friday.

Paulo Dybala scored his 14th league goal of the season with a brilliant curling strike in the first half and that goal proved decisive in Turin.

Juve has now kept 10 consecutive league clean sheets – a new record – and extended its advantage over closest Scudetto rival Napoli, which is now under pressure ahead of its game at Palermo on Sunday.
