Ronaldo double gets Juventus back on track
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Juventus bounced back from its Fiorentina fiasco with a 4-1 win over Udinese at the Allianz Stadium on Monday (AEDT).
Andrea Pirlo's side suffered a humiliating 3-0 home defeat to La Viola before the mid-season break, but it kicked off 2021 with a win that ensured the gap to Serie A leader Milan remained at 10 points.
Ronaldo put Juve ahead in the 31st minute with a fine strike after Udinese's Rodrigo de Paul had seen an effort ruled out by VAR.
Federico Chiesa and Ronaldo then made sure Juve avoided going three consecutive home games without a win for the first time since 2015-16.
Marvin Zeegelaar snatched a consolation for Udinese, but Paulo Dybala had the final say in stoppage time.
