Miralem Pjanic and Mario Mandzukic got the goals as Juventus won Cristiano Ronaldo‘s home debut for the club, beating Lazio 2-0.

Ronaldo himself twice came close to scoring, forcing a superb save from Lazio keeper Thomas Strakosha and then seeing a cross come off his heel in the six-yard box – though the rebound fell to Mandzukic to score.

The result means Juventus, who have won the last seven Serie A titles, stay top of the table after two games, ahead of Napoli on goal difference, with last season’s top two the only sides to have won both their opening games.

Lazio, on the other hand, have lost their first two and are bottom of the table, with last season’s fifth-placed finishers having had the misfortune of facing Napoli and Juventus to start the season.
