Paulo Dybala sent Juventus 16 points clear at the top of Serie A on Sunday with a second-half winner in a 1-0 victory at Bologna.

After a spotty Juventus display that saw hosts Bologna on top for long periods, Dybala came off the bench to snatch the three points.

Defender Danilo deflected Blaise Matuidi's low 67th-minute cross straight to the Argentine international in front of a gaping goal, and he slotted past Lukasz Skorupski.

Juventus moved further ahead of Napoli who play Parma later on Sunday.

Bologna stay third-from-bottom on 18 points and three from safety, despite pushing Juve, much-changed from the side that lost 2-0 at Atletico Madrid midweek, all the way and almost equalising in the final minute when Mattia Perin pushed Nicola Sansone's long-range drive onto the post.
