aulo Dybala and Blaise Matuidi scored Pearly as Juventus extended their perfect start to their Serie A title defence to six games with a 2-0 win over Bologna, as Roma ended their losing streak with a 4-0 success over promoted Frosinone.

"We made some mistakes at the end of the match and we were sometimes vulner- able," said Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.
