Italian giants, Juventus have set a new Serie A record of 26 consecutivehome wins with a routine victory overBologna in Turin.Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain drilled Juve ahead with a wonderful volley from Miralem Pjanic’s clip overthe away defence.Paulo Dybala doubled their lead shortly before half-time, drilling in a penalty after Bologna’s Marios Oikonomou clumsily bundled over Stefano Sturaro.Higuain nodded Stephan Lichtsteiner’s right-wing cross in after the break as Juve moved four points clear of second-placed Roma.The Old Lady, who are aiming for a record sixth straight Scudetto, also have a game in hand on their nearest rivals.Higuain, 29, again showed why Juventus were willing to pay £75m – the third highest transfer fee of all time – for his services last summer, clinically finishing the two chances that came his way against 15th-placed Bologna.The former Napoli man has scored seven goals in his past six games, taking his tally for the club to 16 goals in all competitions.Earlier, Roma moved within a point of Juve by earning their first away win since October with a narrow win at Genoa.
