Chance! Ramsey spreads it to Morata on the edge of the penalty area with a clever pass using the outside of his foot. The former Chelsea forward tries the early shot but drags it wide. A fourth goal would really put the gloss on a productive day for Juventus.
80'
With 10 minutes left to play, there's no sign of a Sampdoria comeback forthcoming.
77'
A dangerous ball is delivered into the Juventus penalty area by Silva from the left flank, with Torregrossa the target. The Sampdoria substitute nudges Chiellini in the back in his attempts to meet it, however, and the referee blows for a free-kick.
74'
Chance! Bentancur goes close to grabbing his first goal in three years! After dropping a shoulder to create the space for the shot, he opts for power and can only draw Audero into a clever one-handed stop.
71'
Sampdoria sub: Caputo makes way for Ernesto Torregrossa.

Caputo's backheeled flick picks out Quaglirella but his first touch is poor. It's been that kind of day for Sampdoria.

63'
There are four or five players waiting in the middle as Cuadrado prepares to deliver a cross, but he loses his footing at the crucial moment, and Damsgaard is ready to pounce. After a driving run, he undoes all his good work by playing a sloppy pass.
60'
Triple Sampdoria change: Damsgaard, Adrien Silva and Tommaso Aguello are on for Depaoli, Ekdal and Murru.
59'
Juventus are in total control now. Having thrown away a number of leads this season already, it's difficult to envisage history repeating itself today.

GOAL! Juventus 3-1 Sampdoria (Manuel Locatelli): Locatelli opens his account for Juventus to restore the home side's two-goal lead! Chiesa makes a dangerous run into the penalty area but overdoes it. Kulusevski keeps it alive down the left, however, and with the goalkeeper in no man's land, he rolls it back to give Locatelli a tap-in!
