Dybala Stays Hot as Juventus Cruise to Easy Win
MILAN (AP) — Paulo Dybala continued his astonishing start to the season as he netted twice to help Juventus beat 10-man Torino 4-0 in a Serie A derby on Saturday.
Miralem Pjanic and Alex Sandro scored the others after Torino midfielder Daniele Baselli was sent off after 24 minutes of the Derby della Mole.
Dybala took his tally to 10 goals in the opening six league matches, just one less than he scored in the whole of the last campaign.
Juventus stayed perfect in Serie A, as did Napoli which won at Spal 3-2 earlier.
Roma, which has played a match less, remained six points behind after beating Udinese 3-1.
Torino shot itself in the foot early on, first by gifting Juventus the lead as Baselli and Tomas Rincon gave away possession and Dybala drilled into the bottom right corner from the edge of the area.
Matters grew worse for Torino eight minutes later when Baselli, who had already been booked, clumsily clattered into Pjanic and he was shown a second yellow card and dismissed.
''I was too eager for the derby, I cared too much about this game. I made a mistake. I apologize to my teammates, our fans, the club,'' Baselli wrote on Twitter.
Pjanic doubled Juve's lead shortly before halftime, curling into the left side of the net after Juan Cuadrado cut back a cross.
Sandro headed in a corner in the 57th and it could have been more for Juventus but Torino goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu pulled off some fine saves, and Mario Mandzukic hit the post.
In stoppage time, Dybala dinked the ball over Sirigu after good linkup play between Pjanic and substitute Gonzalo Higuain.
