Soccer-Juventus return to top with Vlahovic double at Genoa
Adds details
GENOA, Italy, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Juventus returned to top of the Serie A standings after a 3-0 win at Genoa on Saturday as striker Dusan Vlahovic found the net twice to helpThiago Motta's side recover their scoring touch.
Juventus, who started their campaign with consecutive 3-0 wins butdrew each of their last three league games 0-0, top the table with 12 points from six games.
They are onepoint ahead of second-placed Torino, who host Lazio on Sunday, as well as rivals AC Milan and Inter Milan, in third and fourth.
The teams - who drew both Serie A encounters last season - started cautiously and a dull first half ended with no shots on target, with Vlahovic sending a free kick just over the bar.
But the game came alive when Juventus were awarded a penalty for Koni De Winter's handball after the break and the Serbia striker made no mistake when heconverted from the spot.
He thenscored again in the 55th minute, sending a Teun Koopmeiners pass into the far bottom cornerfrom a tight angle, before the Dutch midfielder hit the bar from close range shortly after.
Vlahovic had a chance to seal the win with a hat-trick late in the game but his header missed the target from point-blank range.
Substitute Francisco Conceicao sealed the win with a low, one-touch finish from near the penalty spot one minute from fulltime.
Juve have a perfect record so far of six games with a clean sheet, the first such run in the club's history.
The last side to have managed a similar feat were AC Milan in 1993 under Fabio Capello.
The game in Genoa was played behind closed doors after crowd violence during their Coppa Italia fixture against Serie B side Sampdoria left more than 50 people injured.
Juventus travel to RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday before they host bottom side Cagliari in Serie A on Oct. 6.
Genoa, who were unbeaten in their previous three league games against Juventus, have one win from six games and are 16th on five points.
