Sami Khedira and Juventus recorded yet another win, and are slowly catching up with first-placed Napoli. The defending champions defeated Udinese 4-0 on Sunday, and are now just two points off top spot.
The record champions, who enjoyed a man advantage after Danilo’s red card in the 25th minute, saw their lead doubled through Khedira in the 18th minute – his second in two games. Paulo Dybala and Alex Sandro also netted in the first half, making the second half a rather straight forward affair.
AS Roma and Antonio Rüdiger were forced to settle for a point against Hellas Verona, and now find themselves in fifth place with 35 points. Their rivals Lazio were able to rescue a 2-2 draw against FC Bologna despite going 2-0 down. Miroslav Klose was brought on for the second half, and made a valuable contribution, setting up Senad Lulic’s equalising goal in the 77th minute.
Kroos the provider
Real Madrid have not looked back since the appointment of Zinedine Zidane as head coach. They put in an emphatic performance, beating Sporting Gijon 5-1 on matchday 20 of the Spanish league.
World champion Toni Kroos assisted the first goal of the match, a corner which Gareth Bale glanced in at the near post. Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema both went on to grab braces – all in the first half.
Game abandoned due to snow
The game between Besiktas and Mersin Idmanyurdu was abandoned in the 20th minute due to snowfall. Mario Gomez and Andreas Beck, who were both in the starting XI, will have to wait for the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table.
