Rome, Jan 17 Juventus secured their sixth consecutive win across all competitions with a comfortable 3-0 home victory over Sassuolo in Serie A. The win was spearheaded by Dusan Vlahovic's double and Federico Chiesa's strike.

The Bianconeri were in scintillating form, having recently eliminated Frosinone with a 4-0 victory in the Coppa Italia, and entered Tuesday's game bolstered by Adrien Rabiot's return, reports Xinhua.

Juventus took the lead in the 15th minute when Vlahovic unleashed a left-footed blockbuster from the edge of the box. The Serbian striker then doubled the advantage with a stunning free-kick.

Chiesa sealed the win before the final whistle, with Manuel Locatelli setting up the winger to find the net.

With this victory, Juventus maintains their second-place ranking with 49 points, continuing to apply pressure on league leaders Inter Milan.
