Cristiano Ronaldo, Douglas Costa Score Sensational Goals in Juventus's Title Chase

Cristiano Ronaldo appears to have shaken off the rust he displayed in Juventus's first matches after the restart.

The Portuguese star scored a sensational goal in a 3-1 win over Genoa on Tuesday, taking off from just inside his half before firing home a 25-yard blast to double his side's advantage on the day.

Juventus entered Tuesday with a four-point lead over Lazio, who came from behind to beat Juve's city rival Torino earlier in the day. Paulo Dybala broke the deadlock in the 50th minute, before Ronaldo hit his stunner to make it 2-0. He had been held scoreless in the club's two Coppa Italia matches after a three-month layoff, before connecting for penalty kicks in each of the last two Serie A matches.
