Juventus returned to winning ways in Serie A with a 2-1 defeat of Napoli at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday.
After a shock defeat to Benevento ended their run of seven consecutive home league wins, the champions responded in impressive style to record a ninth victory in 10 home league games against Napoli.
Cristiano Ronaldo dispatched a cross from the excellent Federico Chiesa to put Juve ahead with his fourth goal in his past six appearances against the Partenopei.
Gianluigi Buffon made a handful of solid saves to preserve Juve s lead before substitute Paulo Dybala fired in an expert second to make the points safe, with Lorenzo Insigne s late penalty counting for little.

Patrick Kluivert has been appointed director of youth football at Barcelona on a two-year contract.
The role marks a return for the former Netherlands international to the club where he spent six seasons as a player.
Kluivert will be responsible for overseeing the famed La Masia academy, which produced Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets.
I am very happy to be back home and looking forward to this new era, with the challenge of keeping Barca among the top teams in the world, Kluivert said.
I grew up at the Ajax academy, which is very similar to La Masia, and I think I can do a lot for the development of young Barca players.
