Cristiano Ronaldo Scores in Juventus' Win vs. AC Milan; Gonzalo Higuain Sent Off

Cristiano Ronaldo helped Juventus beat AC Milan 2-0 on Sunday and extend a lead at the top of the Serie A table to six points ahead of Napoli.

Ronaldo scored Juve's second to make the points safe nine minutes from time, after Mario Mandzukic had given the Bianconeri an eighth-minute lead at the San Siro Stadium.

It was tough day for Juve loanee Gonzalo Higuain, who saw a penalty saved by Wojciech Szczesny against his parent club. Milan were later reduced to 10 men when Higuain was sent off two minutes after Ronaldo's goal, after receiving a pair of yellow cards in quick succession following a challenge on Juventus centre-back Medhi Benatia.
