Milan: Cristiano Ronaldo and Miralem Pjanic sealed a 2-1 win for Juventus over Bologna to consolidate top spot in Serie A on Saturday night. Ronaldo was presented with a special jersey before kick-off to mark his 700th career goal scored while playing for Portugal during the week. Ronaldo, 34, hit his 701st after 19 minutes, with Pjanic adding a second eight minutes after the break following a blunder by Brazilian defender Danilo, who had earlier pulled Bologna level.

"It was a special feeling to receive the 7000 goals shirt in our stadium from our president. Glad to score again to secure a difficult but well deserved victory," Ronaldo wrote on social media later.
