A superb Cristiano Ronaldo header sent Juventus three points clear in Serie A with a 2-1 victory at Sampdoria on Wednesday, as Gianluigi Buffon matched the league appearance record.

Ronaldo was denied his second goal by the offside flag late on before Samp scorer Caprari was sent off in stoppage time when he was shown a second yellow card.

“The whole team showed the right attitude,” Ronaldo later said. “It was a good goal and I am glad to help the team with another three points.
“I had problems with my knee for a month, but that has gone now, and I feel good physically.”

It was a special night for Buffon as the veteran goalkeeper equalled Paolo Maldini’s record of 647 Serie A appearances.
He has also now set a new Juventus Serie A appearance record of 479 games, one more than Alessandro Del Piero.

Juventus top the table with 42 points, although second-placed Inter Milan (39) have a game in hand, while Sampdoria is 17th on 15 points.
Sarri fielded the attacking trident of Ronaldo, Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain for the second game in a row.

His side needed 19 minutes to find the opener as Dybala struck a sublime volley into the bottom corner.
Sampdoria drew level 10 minutes before the break when Caprari swept a finish past Buffon after a defensive mix-up.
