Juventus, who are second on the Serie A table, produced an impressive performance, especially in the first half, to breeze past the visitors with two wonderful goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa put the icing on the cake.
The victory by Max Allegri’s men have reduced the gap at the top to just two points from leaders Inter.
Juve needed just 15 minutes to break the deadlock. Manuel Locatelli intercepted in midfield, and Kenan Yildiz released Vlahovic outside the box to bend a fantastic finish into the far top corner with his left boot.
Armand Lauriente’s shot to Wojciech Szczesny lacked power, as he could have rather given Domenico Berardi a return pass. However, he made up for it soon after with a ferocious strike that bounced right in front of the goalkeeper.
Sassuolo committed a free kick when Gian Marco Ferrari charged down the Yildiz strike. Vlahovic got his brace that doubled their lead with a sensational free-kick into the near top corner that surprised Consigli, bending back his fingertips.
Sassuolo raised Their game in the second half, forcing Juventus to commit some errors at the back, which they corrected.
Szczesny was called into action when Sassuolo was on a swift counter from a Juventus corner. The Polish goalie managed to dodge a Berardi scorcher, a save made all the more difficult by a big deflection off Danilo.
Substitute Timothy Weah had a chance to make it three but shot it into the stands after a Federico Chiesa lay-off.
Chiesa, who was calling for a penalty after being fell in the box, got the third when Arkadiusz Milik won it back in midfield. Locatelli found the former Fiorentina man to surprise Consigli at the near post.
