Juventus' scoring streak sets new Serie A record

Juventus' 1-0 win at Napoli not only moved them one point adrift of the leaders, but also made Serie A history.

But they took the lead after just 12 minutes at the Stadio San Paolo, Gonzalo Higuain's sixth league goal in five games proving the decisive blow.

Higuain's composed finish inside Pepe Reina's left-hand post ensured that Juve have now found the net in each of their last 44 Serie A games, setting a new record in the competition.

While the 29-year-old Argentine deserves plenty of praise for his efforts, 24-year-old Paulo Dybala deserves some credit as well, laying on another assist for his countryman at club level.

The league leaders had gone 26 matches unbeaten before Friday's contest, and have now lost just three times in 45 Serie A games, with two of those losses coming against Juve.

UCJ, UNILORIN.
