Irrepressible leaders Juventus stayed eight points clear after coming from behind to beat Cagliari 4-1 away, their 11th successive league win, with forward Fernando Llorente scoring twice.

Third-placed Napoli also won convincingly, beating Hellas Verona 3-0 away with goals from Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne and Blerim Dzemaili.

At the halfway point in the championship, Juventus have 52 points from 19 games, Roma 44 and Napoli 42.
