Juventus might “caress” already the 2014-2015 Scudetto! Yep, Juventus defeated Sassuolo and are now +11 points ahead of AS Roma holding the second position with 50 points. Excuse me, hello, Juventus will be crazy to lose this Scudetto having that wide margin.
Sassuolo attempted to resist “almighty Juventus,” and did well until the 82nd minute. Yep, it was until Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba opened the score defeating Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli with a right foote shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by midfielder Simone Pepe. This is the 7th goal by Pogba this season.
