Juventus have beaten Cagliari 4-1 in their Serie A match at the Stadio Sant'Elia.

The home side shocked Juve by taking the lead in the 21st minute. A quickly taken corner kick was headed towards the back post where Mauricio Pinilla took a touch, before lashing a low strike past Gianluigi Buffon.

Daniele Conti should have doubled their advantage just moments later, but could only head over the bar from close range following a corner.

Juventus weren't behind for long and equalised in the 31st minute when Fernando Llorente met Stephan Lichtsteiner's cross to head past the keeper.

The visitors came close to scoring a second before half time, but Antonio Adan did well to hold onto Arturo Vidal's powerful effort.

Juventus continued to dominate the proceedings and took the lead in the 73nd minute of the match when Claudio Marchisio picked up the ball 30 yards out from goal, before firing a strike past the keeper.

Llorente scored their third goal of the afternoon just three minutes later as he tapped home at the back post from Lichtsteiner's pass.

The visitors made sure of the win soon after. Llorente saw his shot spilled by the keeper and Lichtsteiner followed up to slot the ball into the empty net.

Cagliari finished the game with 10 men, as Pinilla picked up a straight red card in the closing stages.
