Alvaro Morata and Carlos Tevez were in scintillating form as Juventus emerged 3-1 winners against AC Milan.
The Bianconeri dominated the early portion of the match and it was Tevez who put Juve ahead on 14 minutes, latching on to Morata’s through ball to slot past Lopez.
Juve threatened but it was Milan who capitalised on some poor defensive work at the back as Antonelli jumped highest to head the ball past Buffon. It wasn’t to last as moments later, Leonardo Bonucci flicked the ball into the net from a Tevez assist.
Juve pushed on in the second half, creating a series of chances before Alvaro Morata finally got his goal, tapping in after Marchisio forced a good save from Lopez.

Gianluigi Buffon
One straight-forward save in the first half before being forced into a brilliant reaction save from Pazzini’s strike. Solid.
7.0 / 10
Simone Padoin
Stepped in for Lichtsteiner and played a solid game. Didn’t get forward as much or as often as he could have but defensively sound.
6.5 / 10
Leonardo Bonucci
Great at the back when defending, even better when he scored with a poachers finish to restore Juve’s lead.
7.0 / 10
Giorgio Chiellini
Strong at the back, but rarely tested by the Milan forwards. Performed what little defending he had to do without breaking sweat
6.5 / 10
Patrice Evra
Superb display from the Frenchman who kept Cerci quiet all night. Defended well and pinged in some great crosses as well.
6.5 / 10
Andrea Pirlo
Controlled the midfield with some great passing while creating some create chances for Juve from his corners.
6.5 / 10
Claudio Marchisio
A monstorous midfield display. Ran tirelessly, blocked and broke up numerous Milan attacks before almost scoring a goal of his own. Exceptional.
7.0 / 10
Paul Pogba
A quiet performance after some great displays in recent weeks. Showed some trickery on his driblling but failed to create anything of note.
6.0 / 10
Arturo Vidal
Started brightly, breaking up Milans attacks and trying to get his teammates forward. Quieter in the second half and a little subdued.
6.5 / 10
Carlos Tevez
Back to his brilliant best with a big-game performance. Scored a great individual goal, just staying onside before providing the assist for Juve’s second. Perfect.
7.5 / 10
Alvaro Morata – MOM
Arguably his best performance in a Juventus shirt. Constantly a threat, great movement to cause the Milan defence problems, tracking back to win the ball in midfield (and even in defence) – Set up Tevez for the opener before sealing the result with a tap-in.
8.0 / 10
