The hosts had an early sight of goal when Andrea Pirlo fired high over the bar following Fernando Llorente's layoff.

Kwadwo Asamoah gave Juventus the lead in the 17th minute of the match when he picked up a loose ball just outside the box and curled an effort into the bottom corner past Michael Agazzi.

The Bianconeri continued to dominate proceedings and scored a second goal before the half-hour mark.

Pirlo saw his long-range free kick palmed away by Agazzi, and Claudio Marchisio followed up to slot the rebound into the net.

Six minutes into the second half the visitors were handed a way back into the game, as Stephan Lichtsteiner's attempted clearance cannoned off Martin Caceres and dropped into his own goal.

Juventus quickly restored their two-goal advantage, as within minutes Llorente headed in from Pirlo's corner.

Sebastian Giovinco came close to adding a fourth for the hosts as his fierce drive took a slight deflection before going wide of the post.

With two minutes left to play, Carlos Tevez was denied a goal as Agazzi did well to block his close-range strike, but it made little difference as Juventus held on to bag the three points from this Serie A encounter.
