Juventus have become the first club to win the Serie A title six years in a row by beating Crotone 3-0. Even though Roma closed to within a point of Massimiliano Allegri's leaders with victory at Chievo on Saturday night, success in this penultimate fixture of the season saw Juve retain the Scudetto.


On his 31st birthday, Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic banished any fears about an afternoon of struggle with the opening goal, and Paulo Dybala eased any latent jitters with a well-taken second. With time running out Brazilian Alex Sandro added gloss to the scoreline as Juve wrote a new page in the history of Italian football.


Having wrapped up the championship and clinched their third consecutive Coppa Italia over the last few days, Juve's focus must now turn to their Champions League final meeting with Real Madrid. Crotone remain a point shy of Empoli and head into their season-ender against Lazio next weekend.
