Back at the summit of Serie A, resurgent Juventus aim to move further clear on Saturday evening, when they welcome Empoli to Turin.
While free-scoring Juve have just netted 18 goals in five matches - in their best start to a year since 1932 - their opponents have the league's least potent attack.
Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic followed up his brilliant brace against Sassuolo - both of which were scored from outside the box - by netting two more in Salento, as Juve ultimately ran out 3-0 winners following a tightly-contested first half.
Seven wins on the spin have put the Bianconeri into the Coppa Italia semi-finals and confirmed them as Inter Milan's chief challengers for the Scudetto, and a potentially decisive Derby d'Italia between the old foes will take place at San Siro next week.
Unbeaten in their last 16 league matches, this is only the 10th top-flight season in which Juventus have exceeded 50 points after 21 games, and they went on to finish first on every previous occasion.
