Gonzalo Higuain scored a brace to bring his tally of Serie A goals to 101 as Juventus went top of the Italian league with a 2-0 win that plunged AC Milan further into crisis on Saturday.

The 29-year-old Higuain opened after 23 minutes in front of a capacity 80 000 crowd at Milan's San Siro Stadium and grabbed a second on 63 minutes for the six-time reigning champions.

It put Juventus provisionally top with 28 points from 11 games just ahead of Napoli on goal difference.

Napoli can reclaim top spot at Sassuolo on Sunday as can Inter Milan who are just two points behind the leaders before visiting Verona on Monday.

"Playing at the San Siro is never easy and Milan are historic rivals. In these fixtures, form is wiped out," said coach Massimiliano Allegri.

"It sets us up nicely for the Champions League on Tuesday."

For Higuain the century of goals in Italy – after achieving the same in Spain – was revenge for his disallowed effort during the week.

"When they disallowed the goal against SPAL, we said it was my destiny to score the 100th at San Siro! Now it's 101, not bad," said the Argentine. © AFP
