Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo celebrating with his teammate Paulo Dybala after scoring during the Serie A match against Frosinone at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy on Friday — Internet MILAN, Feb 16 (AFP): Cristiano Ronaldo set up Paulo Dybala to score early and added one himself with defender Leonardo Bonucci also on target as Juventus surged 14 points clear in Serie A on Friday with a 3-0 win over lowly Frosinone.
Coach Massimiliano Allegri was taking no chances, even against a side sitting second bottom of the table, ahead of next week's Champions League last 16, first-leg tie at Atletico Madrid.
Dybala returned to the front line alongside Ronaldo and Mario Mandzukic with key defenders Bonnucci and Giorgio Chiellini both back from injury.
Juventus are building towards next week's game in Madrid and a top-of-the table clash against Napoli in the San Paolo Stadium on March 3.
Juventus remain unbeaten this season but the reigning seven-time league champions had been held 3-3 by Parma two weeks ago. Bonucci returned after three weeks out with an ankle injury along with captain Chiellini who limped off during their shock Coppa Italia exit on January 30.
