A superb Cristiano Ronaldo header sent Juventus three points clear at the top of Serie A with a 2-1 victory at Sampdoria. Paulo Dybala’s exquisite volley put the champions in front before Gianluca Caprari levelled, but a remarkable leap and towering header from Ronaldo on the brink of halftime proved decisive. “Ronaldo did something that you see in the NBA; he was up in the air for an hour and a half,” said the Sampdoria coach, Claudio Ranieri. “There’s nothing you can say about it, you can only congratulate him and move on.”
Ronaldo was denied a second goal by the offside flag late on before Caprari was sent off in stoppage time after a second yellow card.
