End of 2nd Half
90'
And that's full-time.
Juventus win a cracking game and move five points clear at the top of the table. Thanks for joining us this evening!
90+5'
That's sensational from Cuadrado. Goes toe to toe with Giaccherini. Falls to the floor and still flicks the ball past his opponent.
90+2'
El Kaddouri tries to thread Callejon in behind the defence but he's given offside. Allegri is absolutely beside himself on the sideline.
90'
There's going to be five minutes added time here, which isn't too surprising when you consider the amount of stoppages we've had. Still time for Napoli here.
87'
CHANCES!
El Kaddouri has a good effort from the free-kick but it is deflected over however then Napoli threaten again from the resulting corner. Callejon's delivery is good and it causes panic in the Juventus box. They eventually clear but that was mighty close.
86'
Napoli have a free-kick in a decent position...
82'
Another change for Napoli as they look to try and change this game. El Kaddouri comes on to replace Hamsik and Reina takes the armband.

Pepe Reina is a confident goalkeeper. he dwells on the ball but happily dinks it past Mandzukic as the Croatian forward comes steaming in.
76'
There's a change for Napoli as well as they send on Piotr Zielinski.

Right time for a change for Juventus as Stefano Sturaro comes on to replace Hernanes. Probably a wise decision from Max Allegri that.

Higuain had been on a three game goal drought in Serie A so that was pretty good timing. He matches his tally for Napoli against Juventus, which was just one.
70'
GOAL! JUVENTUS 2-1 (HIGUAIN)
IT JUST HAD TO BE HIM DIDN'T IT!
Higuain ends his goal drought as he pounces on a loose ball in the box to send it low into the bottom corner, giving Reina no chance. It's an absolutely terrific finish and he doesn't celebrate.

Sandro bursts down the box again but eventually the ball ends up on the opposite flank. He stays in the box and nearly gets on the end of a cross.
Not bad Jose, not bad at all.
64'
Remember that last weekend Juventus lost 1-0 against Milan. Another defeat to title rivals would be damaging. A victory would send out a massive statement though.
61'
At last Hernanes is booked. He's certainly a sending off candidate.

Lorenzo Insigne is absolutely furious. He set up the equaliser and now he's been taken off for Emanuele Giaccherini. That is an interesting decision.

Juventus are becoming a bit sloppier in possession here and Napoli are finding gaps. Diawara lashes one over the bar.
57'
Reina has to be out sharply in order to stop Juventus following another dinked ball over the top.
