Palermo 0-2 Juventus

Juventus have moved to the top of the Serie A table with a hard-fought 2-0 win at Palermo.

After some dogged defending from the hosts saw the two teams go in level at the break, Juve finally made the breakthrough on 56 minutes when Leonardo Bonucci's near-post header from Andrea Pirlo's cross found the back of the net.

The visitors doubled their lead with 20 minutes to play as Fabio Quagliarella collected Alessandro Matri's pass to bend in a left-footed drive past Emiliano Viviano.

Antonio Conte's team are now one point ahead of AC Milan in the table following the Rossoneri's surprise defeat to Fiorentina.
