Juventus stretched their yawning lead atop Serie A to 11 points with a convincing 3-0 victory over Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

The defending champions, who have only dropped two points in the top-flight this season, went ahead courtesy of Rodrigo Bentancur's fine finish in the 31st minute.

Captain Giorgio Chiellini doubled their lead after the interval in scrappy fashion before Cristiano Ronaldo added gloss to the scoreline from the penalty spot.

The result emphatically ended Fiorentina's run of five successive draws as Juventus showed no sign of a European hangover.

40 minutes

Dybala's effort from outside the box is well saved by Lafont down low to his left, and Cuadrado's follow up shot is blazed over.

Juventus looking dominant here - Fiorentina need half-time.

It's a yellow card for Milenkovic as he fouls Dybala right on the edge of the box. Good opportunity for Juve here - think it might be Ronaldo's turn to have a go.

It's a brilliant block by Simeone from Ronaldo's goal-bound strike.

HALF-TIME: Fiorentina 0-1 Juventus

So far so good for Juventus, as Rodrigo Bentancur's second goal of the season has given Juventus the advantage at the break.

After a quick start, Fiorentina faded as the first-half progressed, and will be happy they're only one goal down as Ronaldo and Dybala went close. 

We'll be back with the second-half shortly.

KICK-OFF: Fiorentina 0-1 Juventus

We're back underway here in Florence.

47 minutes

It's Benassi who goes close again for the hosts, as he drags his right-footed shot wide of Szczesny's goal.

50 minutes

Yellow card for Bentancur, as he cynically trips Gerson whose pace took him away from the midfielder.

In similar fashion, Fiorentina's Vitor Hugo picks up a booking as he pulls back Cuadrado. That means he'll miss Fiorentina's trip to Sassuolo next week.
