Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala were on target as league leaders Juventus resumed their pursuit of the Serie A title with a 2-0 win over Bologna.
In their first game back since the resumption Maurizio Sarri's side eased past their mid-table hosts, stretching their lead over Lazio, who play next on Wednesday, to four points.
Ronaldo converted from the penalty spot after VAR awarded Matthijs de Ligt a 23rd-minute penalty at Stefano Denswil's expense, with the Portugal forward notching his 22nd goal of the campaign.

Dybala doubled the lead in the 36th minute, feeding off Federico Bernardeschi's fleet-footed back heel and bending his shot past Lukasz Skorupski from the edge of the area. Ronaldo saw a second scrubbed off due to Douglas Costa straying offside and Danilo's late red card ended proceedings on a disappointing note.

The Rossoneri scored the only goal before half-time, Samuel Castillejo breaking the deadlock, but were pegged back early in the second period by Marco Mancosu's penalty.
