Juventus’ trip to Udinese on Sunday was expected to be a thrilling, neck-to-neck encounter; however’ it turned out to be a one-sided affair, solely down to the talented Paulo Dybala.
The Argentine striker, signed by the Serie A giants over the summer, has proven to be a key player for The Old Lady, and he proved his worth once more in their latest weekend clash.
The 22-year-old took very little time to rip apart Di Natale and Co.’s defense, scoring two goals and setting up another two in only 42 minutes, as Massimiliano Allegri’s marched to a 4-0 first-half lead.
The first of the Albiceleste ace’s goals came courtesy of a wonderful free-kick strike, giving the away side the lead after only 15 minutes of play. Watch his lovely volley in the VINE below.

Three minutes after Dybala’s opener, Juventus doubled their lead through a Sami Khedira goal, which was set up by no other than the former Palermo forward.
The Argentine completed his brace in the 26th minute courtesy of a penalty kick before assisting Alex Sandro for the reigning Serie A champions fourth of the day, heading into the break with a comfortable lead.

I don't think there has ever been a country more adept at producing world class strikers than Argentina. Paulo Dybala is their latest gem.
