Juventus make it four Serie A wins on the bounce with a 2-0 victory over bottom of the table Salernitana, after first-half goals from Dybala and Vlahovic wrapped up the win. However, they should have scored a few more, with both players superbly denied by Sepe in goal, while De Ligt also went close in the second period. The visitors improved after the break and Szczesny had to be alert to deny Bonazzoli and Verdi, but ultimately they couldn't find a way through and Juve saw the game out.
This win moves Juve just one point behind Inter in third, who they will face next after the international break. Meanwhile, Salernitana remain bottom and without a win in nine games and they'll face Torino next time out.
That's all from us today, folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!

The hosts will be looking to build on their 2-0 lead in the second half, with Dybala and Vlahovic looking very dangerous up front for Juve. Meanwhile it will be a huge ask for Salernitana to get back into this one as Juve look very comfortable.15:49
Juventus comfortably lead 2-0 at the break, after Dybala opened the scoring after just five minutes, before Vlahovic doubled their lead shortly before the half an hour mark.

SAVE! Vlahovic should score! Pellegrini unleashes Dybala on the counter and he sprints into the visitors final third, before squaring the ball across the box to Vlahovic, who only has Sepe to beat. However, the keeper makes himself as big as possible and pulls off a superb stop to deny Juve a second goal.15:30
21'
Salernitana are trying to play a high press, in order to win the ball back from Juve, but the hosts are whizzing the ball around the pitch and are not making it easy for them.15:23
19'
The visitors try and push forward on the counter-attack, to try and catch out Juve that way, but De Ligt and Chiellini comfortably deal with the danger.15:21

CHANCE! How did he miss? Dybala should make it 2-0! Cuadrado chips the ball over the top of the Salernitana defence and Dybala races onto the end of it and only has Sepe in goal to beat. However, he puts too much on his effort and it flies just over the crossbar! Huge chance.15:16

GOOOAAALLL! JUVE TAKE THE LEAD! Dybala opens the scoring for the home side after just five minutes! Cuadrado does well down the right wing and feeds the ball into the feet of Vlahovic, who slides it to Dybala, who fires his effort past Sepe and into the back of the net. It's 1-0!
