Juventus stretchered their lead at the summit of Serie A to four points following their 2-0 victory at Sassuolo, but the main talking point from the match was that of Paulo Dybala's refusal to shake Massimiliano Allegri's hand.
Inside the first 25-minutes of the game, Juve raced to a 2-goal lead thanks to Gonzalo Higuain and Sami Khedira, and boss Allegri took advantage of the comfortable situation by resting key players ahead of their crunch league game next weekend.

"Dybala, angry? I should be! It's part of the game. He played well, but Mandzukic and Cuadrado were more energetic and I gave Pjaca time to play.
