Sampdoria v Juventus as it happened - Morata at the double as Bianconeri move closer to Serie A's summit

The Bianconeri's job is done. Far from their best, Juventus have got over the line. Just four points separates them from the top of Serie A now!

Juventus are on course for yet another win on the road. They haven't lost on their travels since October.

And they'll remain unbeaten this calendar year.

Locatell's cross to the back post finds Morata and Falcone can't keep it out despite his best efforts!

Sampdoria, with the momentum behind them, go close to an equaliser, but Thorsby can only fire into the side-netting.

Game on! Sabiri's free-kick takes a wicked deflection and ends up in the corner of the net!

This makes things very interesting!

Conti replaces Augello.

Trimboli comes on for Rincon.

Pellegrini is booked.

Cuadrado finds himself in a threatening position, but instead of going for goal or delivering a cross, the wing-back stalls and allows Sampdoria's defenders to get back into position.

Juventus are happy with their lot, it seems.

Remember, as it stands, Juventus will move to within four points of leaders AC Milan

At one stage in the season a top-four spot looked unlikely; now the Old Lady are in a great position to challenge for the Scudetto.

Vlahovic is too strong for Colley, easily brushing the Sampdoria defender aside, but from a tight angle he can't find a way past Falcone.

Rabiot, on a yellow card and walking a very fine line, is replaced by Sandro.

Szczesny makes a strong one-handed save to deny Candreva!

His Juventus team mates rush to congratulate their goalkeeper, what a big moment in this game!

Rabiot handles the ball inside the box and after a VAR check the penalty is given!

Locatelli threads it through to Vlahovic but his improvised shot is comfortable for the Sampdoria goalkeeper.

Augello runs onto a pass and lets fly with a first-time shot that's aiming for the near post. However, he gets too much on it and Szczesny can watch it drift harmlessly over his bar.

Sensi makes way for Giovinco.

An excellent night's work for Kean. He's replaced by Vlahovic.

Just what the Sampdoria defenders will want to see. Or not.

The ball falls kindly to Caputo following a corner but he flashes his volley just wide of the far post!

So close for Sampdoria. If they can get a goal back quickly, then who knows what can happen.
