Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain scored a second-half hat trick as the champion routed hapless Sassuolo 70 in Serie A on Sunday.
Juve stayed second, however, as leader Napoli won 2-0 at table-propping Benevento, helped by a gem of a goal from Dries Mertens, to keep it one point ahead of the Turin side. The leading pair have both won their last seven games.
AS Roma ended a six-match winless run in the league by beating Verona 1-0 with a first-minute goal by Cengiz Under while, in a bizarre game, both Bologna and Fiorentina scored directly from corners in a three-minute spell.
Napoli has 60 points from 23 games with Juventus on 59 before a gig gap to Lazio on 46, Inter Milan (45) and Roma (44).
Alex Sandro gave Juventus a ninth-minute lead and two quick goals from Sami Khedira put the Turin side three goals up. Miralem Pjanic added a fourth before halftime.
Higuain burst on to the scene with a hat-trick between the 63rd and 84rd minutes. The Argentine opened his account with a clinical finish, then latched on to Claudio Marchisio's long pass before rounding Andrea Consigli to score. He completed his hat trick by playing a one-two with Federico Bernardeschi before dinking the ball over the bemused Sassuolo goalkeeper.
"I'm always trying to improve," Higuain said. "As a player, you need to be humble enough to want to learn and know that you always have to question yourself."
