Five-star Juventus moves into Serie A top four
Juventus cruised to a big win against struggling Cremonese, taking advantage of Serie A's top three all dropping points over the weekend to move into the top four.
Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli all dropped points over the weekend, and Juventus took full advantage to close the gap to the top three.
The Bianconeri made a lightning-quick start, with Jonathan David hitting the post from a tight angle before Bremer gave them a 12th-minute lead by being in the right place to deflect Fabio Miretti's shot past Emil Audero.
Three minutes later, the lead was doubled from a blistering counter-attack as David picked out the bottom-right corner after being fed by Kephren Thuram.
Cremonese then had a penalty overturned in the 27th minute, leading to Davide Nicola being shown a red card for his furious reaction, while Juventus was awarded a spot-kick of its own shortly after for Federico Baschirotto's handball.
Kenan Yildiz saw that penalty tipped on to the post, but he turned in the rebound 35 minutes in to put Juventus in total control.
Cremonese continued to struggle in the second half, conceding an own goal after Matteo Bianchetti turned Weston McKennie's cross on to the back of a sliding Filippo Terracciano, but the American got Juve’s fifth with a thumping header.
David saw another late goal ruled out for offside, but it mattered little with all three points already secured.
