This win leaves Juventus third and 10 points behind Inter at the top, but only one behind Milan in second and next up for Andrea Pirlo’s side is Benevento next weekend.

Meanwhile Cagliari remain just outside the relegation zone and they face Spezia next time out.

Juventus bounce back from their midweek Champions League disappointment, with a 3-1 win over Cagliari in Serie A, thanks to a first-half Ronaldo hat-trick. Cagliari pushed forward after the break and managed to pull a goal back on 61 minutes through Simeone, however, it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback and Juve saw the game out, clinching all three points.
