Juventus remain three points clear of AC Milan at the top of Serie A after a 4-0 win over Novara.
It was the away side who started the better and they led within 16 minutes when Mirko Vucinic struck the top corner after a fine cross from Andrea Pirlo.
Claudio Marchisio was next to come close for Juve after 23 minutes, before Novara so nearly levelled with an effort from Andrea Mazzarani moments later.
Juventus continued to create openings, however, and made it 2-0 five minutes before the break with a thumping header from Marco Borriello.
It was three five minutes after the break when the dangerous Arturo Vidal found the bottom corner with an effort from inside the box.
Novara were not without their chances, and Mazzarani and Filippo Porcari both tested Gianluigi Buffon in the second period.
Vucinic grabbed his second of the afternoon after 64 minutes to all but secure the points in a comfortable afternoon for the Turin club.
The result leaves Novara in 19th spot in the table, and in serious relegation trouble.
