Juventus ended a run of four Serie A matches without a win as they moved themselves closer to the top four with a comfortable 4-0 win over lowly Pisa at Allianz Stadium. 

After being recently eliminated from both the Coppa Italia and the Champions League, Juventus put their poor stretch behind them in convincing fashion on Saturday. 

However, they did make a slow start and were fortunate not to go behind, as goalkeeper Mattia Perin was forced to claw away a header from Rafiu Durosinmi early on. 

The home side eventually found their groove, but they failed to find the opener in the first half as Khephren Thuram and Jonathan David both missed the target. 

But they would find the breakthrough in the 54th minute as Kenan Yildiz clipped a cross for Andrea Cambiaso at the back post, and he made no mistake with a header.

The second goal would arrive 11 minutes later, with Manuel Locatelli striking the post with an effort at goal, with the rebound dropping kindly for Thuram to put into the net. 

Yildiz's impressive showing was rewarded with a goal 15 minutes from time when he collected Francisco Conceicao's pass and skipped away from the challenge of Francesco Coppola, before picking out the top corner with a brilliant finish.

There was still time for another in stoppage time as Locatelli found substitute Jeremie Boga, who rounded goalkeeper Nicolas and slotted home to seal a huge triumph. 

Date Debrief: Juve end difficult run with dominant display

There may have been recent turmoil at Juve, but this was a fine display, as they generated an expected goals (xG) total of 2.67 compared to just 0.45 from their opponents, with 24 shots in total.

They also continued their unbeaten record against Pisa in the top-flight, with 12 victories from their 16 matches after the completion of this encounter. Indeed, they have only played more games without losing against Cremonese (18) in Serie A. 

Pisa, meanwhile, have now lost four Serie A matches in a row under the same manager for the first time since September to October 1987, when Giuseppe Materazzi was in charge.
