Carlos Tevez scored again to help Juventus beat Genoa 1-0 and provisionally move 17 points clear at the top of Serie A.

Tevez, who also had a penalty saved at Juventus Stadium, scored the only goal of the game with a magnificent finish to increase his tally to 16 league goals for the season and take sole lead of the goalscoring table.

It was also the Argentina forward's 24th goal in all competitions, following a double in Wednesday's 3-0 win at Dortmund, which sent Juventus through to the Champions League quarterfinals.

Roma visits Cesena later, desperate to cling onto second spot. Lazio, which is a point behind, hosts Hellas Verona.
