Juventus defeats rival AC Milan to increase Serie A advantage

MILAN (AP) — Juventus beat fierce rival AC Milan 3-1 to move 10 points clear at the top of Serie A on Saturday as coach Massimiliano Allegri gained more revenge on his old club.

It was Allegri's second consecutive win against Milan, which sacked him little more than a year ago.

Milan remained eighth but could take heart from a performance much improved to those of recent weeks.

Carlos Tevez opened the scoring in the 14th minute, and although Luca Antonelli leveled in his first match back at Milan, Leonardo Bonucci restored Juve's advantage moments later.

Alvaro Morata sealed the result in the 65th as Juventus continued to march toward a fourth successive title.

Second-place Roma visits Cagliari on Sunday.

Earlier, Torino beat Hellas Verona 3-1 for its fourth successive victory.
