Serie A Wrap: Juventus destroy pitiful Parma

The Italian champions struggled to a 3-2 win over Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, but they were at their relentless best as Fernando Llorente, Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata starred in Turin.

Juve were 3-0 up at half-time as Llorente twice steered in easy finishes and Stephan Lichtsteiner fired an unstoppable half-volley beyond the helpless Antonio Mirante.

Vasilis Torosidis putt Rudi Garcia's men ahead after only eight minutes, steering in Francesco's Totti's low cross and Seydou Keita doubled their advantage just before the half-hour mark, finding the bottom-right corner from 20 yards.

Napoli continued their recent resurgence and lifted themselves up to third as Gonzalo Higuain's 61st-minute goal earned a 1-0 win at Fiorentina, seeing the Naples club capitalise on Lazio's 2-1 defeat at struggling Empoli.
