Chievo 0-2 Juventus: Juve Reach Serie A Summit With Hard Fought Win Over 9-Man Chievo

Juventus continued on their fabulous unbeaten run, which now stretches to 21 matches in all competitions, with yet another league victory at Chievo's Stadio Marc'Antionio Bentegodi. Two goals in the second half from German international Sami Khedira and Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain defeated a determined 9-man Chievo.

Massimiliano Allegri's men went in to the match high on confidence having won their last five Serie A matches, although Juventus were unconvincing in their midweek victory over a stubborn Genoa side. Chievo found themselves 13th in the league, only six points outside the bottom three and in the middle of a concerning run of form having not won in their last six league matches, losing four.
