Canada’s Jonathan David tallies as Juventus trash Cremonese to climb into third

Juventus recorded their highest-scoring performance of the season with a commanding 5-0 victory over Cremonese, moving into third place in Serie A on Monday.

League Standings

The Turin side's fifth win in six league games lifted them to equal points with Napoli and Roma, but they moved ahead of both clubs on goal difference. Inter Milan leads AC Milan by three points, with the top two and defending champions Napoli each holding a game in hand.

Match Summary

Juventus opened the scoring after 12 minutes when Bremer's long-range shot deflected past goalkeeper Emil Audero. Jonathan David doubled the lead two minutes later, finishing off Khéphren Thuram's incisive counterattack.

Cremonese coach Davide Nicola was sent off for protesting a VAR decision not to award his side a penalty. The dismissal proved costly as Juventus were awarded a penalty at the other end—Kenan Yildiz converted the rebound after Audero saved his initial spot-kick, sending the visitors into halftime ahead 3-0.

Weston McKennie added a fourth two minutes into the second half, with Filippo Terracciano's own goal credited for the strike. McKennie sealed the scoring with a close-range header to complete the 5-0 demolition.
