The pair contributed in the night's thumping as the Old Lady extended their lead at the table.

Juventus' 4-0 thumping of Lecce brought interesting subplots with both Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo landed respective feats in the night's clash. The pair contributed a goal apiece for only the fourth time while playing together to consolidate the Bianconeri's spot atop the league table.

Following a rather drab first 45 minutes, the match sprung to life in the early minutes of the second half. In just eight minutes after play resumed, Paulo Dybala set Juventus on course for their big win with his 50th goal at home in Serie A. The Argentine has so far scored 66 goals in 154 league appearances for the Turin outfit.

Less than nine minutes after 'La Joya's strike, Cristiano Ronaldo was handed a penalty which he converted for his 23rd league goal. The strike also saw the five-time Ballon d'Or holder extend his record as the highest-scoring Portuguese to 44. Rui Costa previously owned the status with 42 goals. Relatively, the former Real Madrid player has now found the net against 20 of the 21 teams he has faced in the competition so far.

In the 83rd minute, Ronaldo set-up Gonzalo Higuain to bag Juventus' third of the night. Two minutes later Matthijs de Ligt grabbed the last goal to ensure that Maurizio Sarri's men enter the weekend with a seven-point lead atop the Serie A table.
