Lazio make up the top four and neutrals will be hoping all three of Juve’s main rivals can keep pace to ensure a thrilling title chase.Higuain posts timely reminderOver the last 20 years, @G_Higuain is only the 2nd player after Ibrahimovic to score ???? goals in 2 of Europe's top five leagues.#ForzaJuve pic.twitter.com/HN36WuoNHz— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) October 28, 2017Higuain had scored only four goals in Serie A this season – five in total – before Juve’s trip to San Siro, but his brilliant brace reminded rivals he is still a goalscorer to be reckoned with. The 29-year-old’s clinical strikes in either half were the difference between the two sides and if the Argentinian can maintain this form in front of goal, Juve will take some stopping in the race for the title.Dybala pulls the strings(Alessandro Di Marco/AP)Higuain fired the bullets but for both his goals fellow countryman Paulo Dybala supplied them. Dybala was central to all Juve’s best attacking moments and is their most influential player. He supplied a precision pass for the opening goal in the first half and his sublime step-over for the second allowed Higuain just enough time and space to pick his spot.Milan let it slip#MilanJuve in pictures.

Vincenzo Montella’s side slipped to their fourth defeat in their last six Serie A matches when losing to Juve. It was also the first time they had failed to score in three successive home league games since 2007.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
