Vlahovic strikes twice as Juventus humbles Lazio 3-1
The HinduJuventus provisionally went top of the Serie A standings with a 3-1 home win over Lazio on Saturday thanks to a brace from Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic. Victory moved Juve up to 10 points from four games, a point ahead of both Inter Milan and AC Milan who play each other later on Saturday. Juve took the lead through Vlahovic in the 10th minute when he swept home a cross with an exquisite first-time effort before Federico Chiesa made it 2-0 with his third goal of the season when he netted with an angled shot to the near post. But any optimism of a potential comeback evaporated two minutes later as Vlahovic restored the two-goal cushion when he chested down a long ball, opened up space in front of two defenders with a touch and fired home from the edge of the box.
