VERONA, Italy - Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic netted two goals to lead his team to a convincing 3-0 win against Hellas Verona in Serie A on Monday. The victory propelled Thiago Motta's side to the top of the league standings.

Vlahovic put Juve in front in the 28th minute with a low shot from around the penalty spot before defender Nicolo Savona doubled the lead with a header inside a far post.

The Serbian forward then made it 3-0 from the spot following halftime, after Juve were awarded a penalty for Jackson Tchatchoua's foul on winger Samuel Mbangula.
