Fiorentina 0 Juventus 2: Bernardeschi haunts Viola as Juve go top

Juventus return to Serie A's summit after beating Fiorentina 2-0, with former Viola star Federico Bernardeschi scoring on his return.

Federico Bernardeschi had the last laugh as he returned to his former club Fiorentina with their historic rivals Juventus and scored in a 2-0 victory which puts the reigning champions top of Serie A.

The 23-year-old angered Fiorentina fans in pre-season when he crossed the rivalry that was intensified by Robert Baggio's switch to Juve in 1990 and he silenced the jeers with a second-half free-kick, before Gonzalo Higuain wrapped things up late on in Massimiliano Allegri's 200th game in charge.
