There was not much Crotone could have done in tonight's trip to Turin, as Juventus approached this game with great determination and a competitive attitude, which helped them beating their rivals by 3-0. As usual, Cristiano Ronaldo was the man of the match for Juve, with two great goals and another superb performance for the Italian champions. The Portuguese forward just can't stop scoring in this campaign and he might also try his luck at the best online casino to earn even more in the future. The third goal of the night was scored by Weston McKennie, his 5th in the Serie A this season. Juventus are now third in the league and 8 points behind the leaders AC Milan, but it's important to note that the Bianconeri still have one game in hand...

Ronaldo comes to the rescue...
Juventus was desperately seeking the 3 points tonight, especially after having failed to win their last 3 games. The Vecchia Signora drew 0-0 against Inter on Feb 9, then lost against Napoli on Feb 13, just to lose again a few days later in Portugal against Porto. The Italian champions' recent record was far from acceptable and Pirlo knew his team needed to deliver a good performance this Monday night. With that in mind, the Bianconeri ran over their opponents in tonight's encounter.
The opening goal took a bit to appear and the hosts had already missed multiple chances before Ronaldo stepped in to make the difference. The Portuguese superstar was hungry for goals tonight and when he saw Alex Sandro crossing the ball to the far post, he was quick to react and get in position to meet the Brazilian's pass on the far post. Once his head made contact with the ball, everyone in the stadium knew that Cristiano Ronaldo was about to score, as the chances for the ball to go in were the same as a random person to enjoy his time when visiting a casino. Juve was in front just a few minutes before the half-time, but Ronaldo wasn't done yet...
A few minutes later, when the game entered the first half added time, Ronaldo turned on his superman mode and jumped high in the air to meet a perfect cross from Aaron Ramsey and head the ball into the back of the net for the second time on the night. With the former Real Madrid forward on the pitch, everything looks so easy that we just forget he has recently turned 36 years old...
Easy win for Juventus...
With a 2-goal lead at half-time and against an opponent that had lost 8 of their last 9 games in the Serie A, no one really expected Juventus to be surprised and eventually drop points tonight. The Italian champions were controlling the game and Crotone was not looking threatening at all.
Nevertheless, Pirlo decided not to rotate any of his starting units until he saw his team reaching the third goal in the game, which only happened around the 66th minute of the second half. The Bianconeri earned a corner-kick on the left side of their attack and following a somewhat lucky rebound inside the box, the North-American Weston McKennie didn't hesitate in slamming the ball into the back of the net and making it 3-0 for Juventus. If Crotone's chances of pulling off a positive result were already near zero before this goal, after this moment they knew all hope were lost...
With a 3-goal advantage on the scoreboard, Pirlo finally started replacing some of his starting players, as Juve needs to be well prepared for the decisive stages of the season. As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he still had a few more chances to complete the hat-trick tonight, but for one reason or another, he didn't get it. Nevertheless, the Portuguese striker got a double and regained the first place in the Serie A's top scorers charts.
