Juventus returned to first place -- at least until Inter Milan host Napoli later on Sunday -- thanks to their 2-0 home victory against Udinese.

Following their dramatic Wembley comeback against Tottenham in the Champions League, spirits were high and Paulo Dybala opened the scoring by fizzing a free kick into the top corner in the 20th minute.

Gonzalo Higuain missed a 38th-minute penalty that had been won by Dybala but the latter cheered up his fellow Argentine by sweeping in his assist for a second goal shortly after the break.
