Celtic win at Fir Park

[theothers]

Scottish Premier League champions Celtic won 3-0 away to Motherwell on Sunday thanks to a trio of second half goals.

Substitute and debutant Tony Watt struck twice before Cha Du-Ri's header confirmed victory for the visitors. Celtic dominated much of the first half, although Motherwell's Chris Humphrey was twice denied by saves from Lukasz Zaluska. The Bhoys once again took control early in the second period and deservedly secured the lead soon after the hour, as Victor Wanyama crossed to the far post and Watt managed to beat Darren Randolph with a powerful volley.

Three minutes later, Watt grabbed his second, firing a finish past Randolph after being set up by Joe Ledley. Cha added Celtic's third seven minutes from time, heading in Paddy McCourt's deep cross despite the best efforts of Randolph. Stuart McCall's men remain 11 points behind Rangers in the battle for second place, with fourth-placed Dundee United now just three behind

Juve still haven't lost yet this season!

Juventus moved three points clear at the top of Serie A with a 4-0 thumping of Roma on Sunday to firm as title favourites.

The Turin-based club set up the victory with three goals in a dramatic first half that also included a red card to Romas goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

Arturo Vidal got Juventus off to a brilliant start with two goals in the opening eight minutes.

The Chilean midfielder scored after just four minutes when he fired home Paolo De Ceglies cross and then doubled the home sides lead after running from deep to support Mirko Vucinic, receiving a pass from the Montenegrin striker and powering a shot past Stekelenburg.

The Dutch goalkeeper was sent off in the 26th minute for bringing down Claudio Marchisio in the box but Andrea Pirlos penalty was saved by replacement gloveman Gianluca Curci.

Juventus did not have to wait long for their third goal, however, as Pirlo scored three minutes later.

Marchisio wrapped up the win with a fine strike seven minutes into the second half.

The victory puts Juventus three points ahead of AC Milan at the top of Serie A after their main title challengers could only manage a 1-1 draw with Bologna.
