Cristiano Ronaldo Scores as Juventus Beat Bologna; Increase Serie A Lead

Cristiano Ronaldo was on target as Juventus beat Bologna 2-1 to move four points clear at the top of Serie A on Saturday in Turin.

The Portugal international opened the scoring with a low shot that crept past goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski at his near post after just 19 minutes of the clash.

The visitors hit back seven minutes later through Danilo. The 35-year-old latched on to a flick-on by Ibrahima Mbaye and smashed a half-volley past Gianluigi Buffon.

Miralem Pjanic restored Juventus' lead early in the second half. The midfielder curled a low shot home after some sloppy defending from the visitors to secure all three points.
