Mario Mandzukic – with the aid of the crossbar and Lukasz Skorupski – and Alex Sandro eventually broke Empoli down for a 2-0 Juventus victory.
This was their 30th consecutive Serie A home win, an on-going all-time record, which put more pressure on Roma as they visit Inter tomorrow night.
It took a surprising amount of time to get through the Empoli wall, but Mandzukic’s header off the crossbar – and off Skorupski – breached their defences.
