  • Live Commentary

    • 90'+2 FT Juventus 3-0 Siena. Juventus extend their lead at the top of Serie A to seven points.
    • 90' That really was a classy strike by Pogba, who has been very good again today.
    • 89' GOAL! Pogba makes it 3-0! The former Manchester United man drives at the backpedaling Terlizzi, shifts the ball onto his right foot and drills a low shot into the bottom corner from 20 yards. Lovely goal, and the result is beyond any doubt now.
    • 88' Juventus seem to have stemmed that good spell by Siena.
    • 87' Siena ending the game strongly, but Juventus look comfortable as they see this game out.
    • 85' A late flourish by Siena, but Buffon is raging at his defenders for allowing those Siena chances.
    • 84' Agra cuts in from the left and arrows a shot towards the far corner, but Buffon makes a diving save to his left.
    • 82' Siena hit the post! Terlizzi chests the ball down on the edge of the box and thrashes a low effort at goal which has Buffon beaten, but the ball comes back off the post.
    • 80' Juve sub: Giaccherini on, Giovinco off.
    • 78' Juve sub: Chiellini on, Asamoah off.
    • 77' Chance for Siena! Emeghara beats his man and flicks a header at goal, but Buffon makes a stunning stop - tipping the ball onto the bar. World class stuff by Buffon, and that's the closest Siena have come.
    • 76' Siena coach Giuseppe Iachini pays the price for making a substitution at a set piece. Always a bad idea.
    • 75' GOAL! Giovinco makes it 2-0! Pirlo's quick free-kick catches Siena out as Giovinco latches onto the pass and lashes the ball into the roof of the net.
    • 74' Siena sub: Agra on, Rosina off.
    • 73' Emeghara spins away from Bonucci brilliantly and drives towards goal - but Juve get bodies back and crowd out the striker.
    • 71' But Juve deal with the corner. 20 minutes to go, and Juve playing a dangerous game by having not scored a second.
    • 70' Rosina mishits his free-kick but it still almost sneaks behind the Juve back line - and Marchisio is forced to clear for a corner.
    • 69' Della Rocca wins a free-kick in a dangerous position on the left. Pogba conceded it, and Juve beginning to look a little edgy.
    • 67' Belmonte bursts forward down the right and plays in a dangerous cross, but Pogba clears.
    • 66' Siena sub: Pozzi on, Valiani off.
    • 64' Juve sub: Matri on, Vucinic off.
    • 62' Pogba charges forward but sends a wild shot high and wide.
    • 61' Juventus are reaching the levels they found in the first half after a good spell by Siena.
    • 60' Almost an amazing goal by Pirlo! The Italian maestro spots Pegolo off his line and chips the ball over him from 20 yards, but it frops just the wrong side of the post.
    • 58' Chance for Juve as Giovinco rolls a lovely cross in from the right but it's at an awkward heigh for Vucinic, who can't make a proper contact.
    • 57' Asamoah gets into a good position on the left and whips in a cross, but Teixeira clears.
    • 55' Siena have had as much of the ball in the first 10 minutes of the second half as the whole of the first 45. But Juve are pressing well and restricting the influence of Siena's key players - Rosina and Emeghara.
    • 53' Juve cannot relax while the score is still 1-0, despite their dominance.
    • 52' Marchisio drives forward from midfield and slips in Giovinco, but Bolzoni gets across to force Giovinco to fire hastily over the bar.
    • 50' Rosina's corner is punched clear by Buffon, but it's pumped back in to Emeghara, but Marchisio steps in front of him before he can get a shot away.
    • 49' And now Siena have forced a corner.
    • 48' Siena have started the second half with a long period of possession, something they failed to achive in the first half.
    • 46' We are back underway in Turin.
    • 45' HT Juventus 1-0 Siena.
    • 44' Emeghara gets a forearm to the face, but the referee is not interested - and neither are the home fans.
    • 42' Marchisio drives infield and finds Vucinic's, whose pass is collected by he offside Giovinco when it was intended for Marchisio, who is mad at Giovinco for not realising!
    • 40' Juventus playing keep-ball at the moment. Siena struggling to get a kick.
    • 38' Emeghara skips free down the right but is hauled down by Bonucci, and the Juve centre back goes into the book.
    • 36' Juve hardly breaking sweat at the moment. Just passing the ball around with ease while Siena chase.
    • 34' Very nearly 2-0 to Juve. Asamoah gets into a great position on the left and picks out Pogba, whose side-foot shot on the run finds the target, but is saved well by Pegolo.
    • 32' Nothing has changed since the goal. Siena have 11 bodies behind the ball and are facing wave after wave of Juve attack.
    • 30' GOAL! Lichsteiner scores for Juventus! Vucinic clips the ball into Lichsteiner's path and Pegolo comes out to claim but bats the ball against Lichsteiner and the ball ricochets into the net. Fortuitous goal, but no less than they deserve.
    • 29' Pogba forces yet another Juve corner.
    • 28' Lichsteiner drives into the box from the right and has a great chance to find Marchisio, but he fails to find him and Valiani clears.
    • 26' Pirlo clips a free-kick into Vucinic, whose attempted header acros goal is caught by Pegolo. And Pegolo has stayed down holding his knee.
    • 25' Della Rocca is booked for late and rather cynical challenge on Giovinco.
    • 24' Juve probing here.
    • 23' Vucinic again at the heart of a Juve move. Vucinic's picks out Giovinco, but his snap shot is batted away by Pegolo at his near post.
    • 21' Vucinic almost finds Asamoah in acres of space on the left, but Vucinic's pass has just too much on it. Let-off for Siena.
    • 19' Lovely football again by Juve as Marchisio and Vucinic exchange passes 30 yards from goal and Marchisio lets fly - but Pegolo makes a good save.
    • 17' At the other end, Emeghara drives forward but he is halted by Lichsteiner.
    • 16' Lovely football by Juve involving Pogba and Vucinic. Vucinic tries to cut the ball back to Pogba from the byline when he could have found Giovinco at the far post. Slick move though.
    • 15' Lichsteiner bursts forward from right back, gets the ball back from Vucinic, but sends a decent shot just over from the edge of the box.
    • 13' Siena doing a good job of soaking up the Juventus pressure, but how long can they sustain it?
    • 11' The corner is cleared but Pogba finds Giovinco, but he fails to get ahold of his shot from 20 yards and Siena keeper Pegolo watches it roll well wide.
    • 10' But Juve have the ability to be direct when they need to be and a long ball forward results in a corner.
    • 8' Siena can be very satisfied with the start they've made here. Rosina seeing plenty of the ball and Emeghara looks dangerous.
    • 6' Juventus win a free-kick 25 yards out and Pirlo steps up, but he cannot get the ball up and down and it goes a yard or so over the top.
    • 4' Pirlo's corner finds Bonucci, but the centre back air kicks and the chance is gone.
    • 3' Pogba and Lichsteiner combine well down the right to force Juventus' first corner of the game.
