Juventus completed a 4-0 thrashing of rivals Torino at the Juventus Stadium in their Coppa Italia Round of 16 encounter.

Goals from Paulo Dybala, Paul Pogba and a brace for Simone Zaza completed a comfortable win for the Old Lady over their rivals.

The Bianconeri took the lead through Simone Zaza. The former Sassuolo star was found brilliantly by Alvaro Morata in the box, where he struck the ball on the volley into the top corner.

In the second half the Old Lady tried to press home their advantage. Morata tried his luck from outside the box, but goalkeeper Salvador Ichazo parried it out for a corner. From the resultant Leonardo Bonucci put the ball in the back of the net, but was adjudged to be in an offside position.

Shortly after it got much worse for the Granata. A second booking for Cristian Molinaro saw the experienced defender leave the pitch and his teammates in a difficult position. Juventus doubled their account shortly after through Zaza once again. The striker retrieving the ball after a free kick broke down, wrong-footing his marker and placing his shot past Ichazo.

Torino felt much aggrieved, particularly as Zaza could easily have seen a second booking for a foul on Emiliano Moretti. Paulo Dybala was next to come close for the Bianconeri, the Argentinian curling his shot toward the far corner but not curling enough.

However, it didn’t take long for Dybala to get some joy for his effort. Receiving the ball on the edge of the area, he hit a curling strike past Ichazo and into the bottom corner. Paul Pogba completed the win with a wonderful free kick that completely outfoxed Ichazo, curling delightfully into the top corner.
