A brace from Cristiano Ronaldo inspired Juventus to a 4-0 victory over Parma in a Serie A clash on Saturday evening.
Veteran Gianluigi Buffon started against the side he first turned out for, while Dejan Kulusevski, Aaron Ramsey and Alvaro Morata were the other notable changes from Juventus.
Juventus were forced into an early bit of defending after Buffon made use of his legs to thwart a back-post attempt from Juraj Kucka in the nick of time.
The Bianconeri were up and running inside midway stage of the first half when Kulusevski carved out a yard of space in the six-yard area to send a low cross from Alex Sandro into the bottom-corner.
It was two before the half-hour mark as a gigantic leap in the centre of the six-yard area from Ronaldo culminated with a pin-point header beyond Luigi Sepe.
Parma opted for a refreshed approach following the start of the second half, with Yann Karamoh send on for veteran Ivorian winger Gervinho.

Ronaldo added more misery to the home side two minutes from the restart after he latched onto a pass in the area to dispatch a ball from Ramsey with ease.
Buffon was brought to work once again when he went down on the goal-line to thwart a promising looking strike from Kucka, with Leonardo Bonucci on hand to clear the danger.
Matthijs de Ligt showed quick feet at the back-post on 55 minutes to bundle home a corner-kick, but it was chalked off after the ball were said to have swerved out of play before re-entering.
Juventus made a double substitution in the last 12 minutes, as Juan Cuadrado replaced Bonucci with Weston McKennie making way for Manolo Portanova.
The Bianconeri put the result beyond doubt five minutes from time when Morata met a cross from Federico Bernardeschi to plant in a perfect header, as Andrea Pirlo's charges moved up to third spot.
