Juve's 12th straight win
Alvaro Morata hit his second brace of the week as champions Juventus cruised to a 4-0 win at Chievo to equal a club record of 12 consecutive victories and top Serie A for the first time this season.
Morata was given a rare start by Massimiliano Allegri in the Italian Cup semi-final in midweek and hit the net twice in a 3-0 first leg rout of Inter Milan.
It earned the Spaniard a rare start alongside 12-goal striker Paulo Dybala, and Morata seized the day to put the visitors 2-0 up by half-time.
Brazilian left-back Alex Sandro added a third on the hour and Paul Pogba hit Juve's fourth just six minutes later.
Juventus, who struggled at the start of the campaign, took a one-point lead over Napoli, who play Empoli at home later Sunday.
Fiorentina and Inter Milan are seven points adrift of Juventus in third and fourth places respectively ahead of away games at Genoa and AC Milan later.
