League leaders Juventus went on to win 2-0 at home against 5th placed Inter Milan, courtesy of strikes from Alvaro Morata and Leonardo Bonucci, and are now four points clear of second placed Napoli.
Juventus has been on a roll since their away defeat to Sassuolo on 28th October. Since then, they haven’t lost a single match in the Serie A, keeping 11 clean sheets in 17 matches.
Juventus has an impressive defence line consisting of Andrea Barzagli, Chiellini, Bonucci and veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and Inter seemed to have no chance of penetrating it. An important thing to note is that up until last month Inter Milan were leading the league table, and now they’re at fifth spot trailing 13 points behind league leaders.
Here’s how the fans reacted to Juventus’s win, making their way towards a record-equalling fifth consecutive Scudetto.
It’s mad when you stop and think about it – the team that was top of Serie A last month now at risk of finishing outside top five!

Juventus-Inter 0-0 15′. Cheeky INT start soon punished by JUV with 4 huge chances.Players playing by themselves vs players playing together

It’s not just that Juventus are winning these games, it’s how easy they’re making it. Inter didn’t have a sniff before Eder in injury time

Never seen an inferiority complex like Inter has against Juventus. It’s like they are scared to face us.
