Sampdoria 5-0 at the Juventus Stadium in their Saturday afternoon Serie A encounter.
Two goals for Paulo Dybala and one each for Patrice Evra, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini completed a comfortable victory for the recently crowned Italian champions.
The first chance of the game came for the visitors, a rasping strike from Ricky Alvarez had Neto at full stretch to keep it from sneaking past him.
However, before Sampdoria could even begin to capitalise on the early pressure they’d created, Juventus took the lead. Paulo Dybala with a great delivery to the back post from a free kick, finding Patrice Evra, who headed the ball past Juventus loanee Alberto Brignoli in goal.
If the Blucerchiati thought it was a bad start, then it got infinity worse moments later. A mazy run by Mario Mandzukic saw the Croatian felled in the penalty area by Milan Skriniar, who was shown a straight red card for the foul. Dybala stepped up for the Bianconeri and slotted home his 18th league goal of the campaign.
The Argentine made it 19 Serie A goals shortly before half time, thrashing the ball into the bottom corner from outside the box.
In the second half the home side continued to pile on the pressure, defender Giorigio Chiellini almost taping the ball past Brignoli at the near post. Paul Pogba, who had been having a quiet game by his usual standards, almost curled an effort into the bottom corner but watched it go agonisingly wide.
Chiellini was without a goal all season, but found his first in style with a thundering effort beyond Brignoli to cap a memorable win for the Juventus vice-captain.
Leonardo Bonucci tapped in a corner from substitute midfielder Hernanes to make it five and end the rout.
