Juventus secured a 2-0 home win against relegation-threatened Monza in Serie A on Sunday, through first-half goals from Nicolas Gonzalez and Randal Kolo Muani, before the hosts were reduced to 10 men just ahead of half-time.

Gonzalez gave Juve the lead after 11 minutes with a terrific shot from a distance and Kolo Muani scored inside the far post with a simple low strike from the edge of the box in the 33rd.

Juventus were left with 10 men when Kenan Yildiz saw straight red for a violent conduct after fouling Monza midfielder Alessandro Bianco in first-half stoppage time.

Juve moved provisionally up to fourth on 62 points, two points above fifth-placed Bologna who visit Udinese on Monday. Monza are bottom of the standings on 15 points. REUTERS
