Juventus made it five wins from their opening five Serie A fixtures as Mario Mandzukic s second-half header sealed a 1-0 victory over 10-man Fiorentina.
After a slow start at the Allianz Stadium, Juve had to wait until the 52nd minute to find a way through Fiorentina s stubborn backline.
The outstanding Juan Cuadrado was the architect with a brilliant delivery from the right, and Mandzukic made no mistake in nodding home his second goal of the campaign.
Paulo Dybala looked set to be provided with an ideal opportunity to continue his incredible goalscoring form when Blaise Matuidi was brought down by Milan Badelj on the cusp of Fiorentina s area, but although the referee initially awarded a penalty, he reversed his decision after utilising the VAR system.

Tottenham came from behind to beat Leeds United 2-1 and get their first win under new head coach Antonio Conte.
After starting his second spell in the Premier League with a goalless draw at Everton, the former Chelsea boss saw his side fall behind at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday before half-time through a Dan James strike.
However, Spurs produced an encouraging display in the second half, levelling via Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg before Sergio Reguilon reacted quickest in the box to tap in the winner.
Leeds, without a Premier League away win over Spurs since February 2001, started the match on the front foot and had Hugo Lloris worried by shots from Stuart Dallas and Joe Gelhardt.
Conte s men offered little threat of their own, and they went into the bre…

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic admits it can be frustrating to play Barcelona as they enjoy the majority of possession.
Sir Alex Ferguson s side came face to face with the Catalans in the 2011 Champions League final but were beaten 3-1. United were also beaten by them 2-0 in the 2009 finale.
Although Vidic acknowledged that it is difficult to play against Barca, he praised them for their technical ability and their consistency.
I think that the biggest thing that makes it difficult to play against them is because they play without a striker. When they play without a striker, they are moving the ball all over the pitch, they have the possession, and that makes teams frustrated, Vidic told FIFA.com.
And, obviously, they are technically very goo…
At 29 years of age, most men involved in football are usually in the prime of their playing careers. Julian Nagelsmann, however, is no ordinary man.
Once dubbed Baby Mourinho by former goalkeeper-turned-WWE star Tim Wiese, Nagelsmann is head coach of Hoffenheim, with whom he is taking the Bundesliga by storm.
Hoffenheim s decision to place their trust in Nagelsmann – a prodigy of Thomas Tuchel having worked closely with the Borussia Dortmund boss during their time at Augsburg – has paid dividends.
Not only did he steer the club away from relegation last season, but he has overseen a dramatic upturn in fortunes this term, with his side flying high and quietly dreaming of the impossible.
The Bundesliga s youngest ever head coach understands the hyp…
Paul Pogba can finally fill the void left by Paul Scholes in Manchester United s midfield, manager Jose Mourinho has said.
United announced on Sunday the France international had travelled to the club s training ground to complete a medical, with his protracted transfer from Juventus finally drawing towards a conclusion.
Reports suggest United, whom Pogba left in 2012 for a compensation fee of £800,000, will break the world transfer record to re-sign Pogba, with the fee predicted to rise to a staggering €120million, depending on bonuses.
But Mourinho believes the 23-year-old boasts a rare combination of qualities possessed by such Premier League greats as Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Scholes, who retired after United s last title triumph in 2013.

Jose Mourinho s talk of a campaign against Chelsea is being used to motivate and strengthen the Premier League leaders according to Willian.
Chelsea winger Willian says manager Jose Mourinho is using talk of an agenda against the Premier League leaders to motivate his players.
Mourinho s outspoken views on perceived refereeing injustices landed him a £25,000 fine from the Football Association last week and he shunned media duties before and after Saturday s 1-1 draw against title rivals Manchester City an apparent protest over his fine and the coverage of top scorer Diego Costa receiving a retrospective three-match ban for stamping on Liverpool s Emre Can during Chelsea s League Cup semi-final triumph.
The Portuguese is often credited as being a master of footba…
