ROME -- Promoted Pescara proved no test for an understrength Juventus.Even with Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini and Claudio Marchisio rested and Andrea Barzagli, Miralem Pjanic and Paulo Dybala out injured, the five-time defending champion cruised to a 3-0 win in Serie A on Saturday.Sami Khedira scored one goal and set up another, Mario Mandzukic and Hernanes also found the target, and Gonzalo Higuain hit the post as the Bianconeri moved seven points ahead of second-place Roma, which visits Atalanta on Sunday.The title is won by beating the smaller squads and tonight we showed a lot of respect for Pescara, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said.In the final minutes, Allegri replaced Mandzukic with 16-year-old forward Moise Kean, the first player born in the year 2000 to appear in Serie A.Earlier, Lorenzo Insigne ended his scoring drought in style, getting both goals and also hitting the crossbar in the space of 10 minutes in Napolis 2-1 win at Udinese.Also, Chievo Verona beat visiting Cagliari 1-0.On Sunday, the Milan derby is the pick of seven matches.JUVENTUS 3, PESCARA 0Juventus extended its home unbeaten streak in Serie A to 23 matches.Khedira opened the scoring in the 36th with a shot through traffic inside the area following a give and take with Mandzukic.Higuain hit the post with a long shot in the 53rd, failing to take advantage with Pescara goalkeeper Albano Bizzarri out of position.Ten minutes later, Mandzukic collected a headed pass from Khedira and scored from close range, marking Khediras first Serie A match with both a goal and an assist.Hernanes then sealed matters with a long, curving shot, while Juve reserve goalkeeper Neto was hardly tested.On Tuesday, Juventus visits Sevilla in the Champions League.Pescara, which has only one win, remained two points from the bottom.UDINESE 1, NAPOLI 2With only its third win in seven away matches, last seasons runner-up Napoli moved up to fourth place, nine points behind Juventus.Insigne hadnt scored since April, a run of 1,136 minutes, after finishing with a career-best 12 goals last season.In the 47th, Insigne redirected a cross from Jose Callejon inside the box for his first.A minute later, Udinese goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis tipped a long shot from Insigne off the bar.Insigne had yet another a chance in the 56th, finding himself unmarked inside the area but the 1.63-meter (5-foot-4) winger launched his shot high over the target.A minute later, Insigne took advantage of poor defending to score his second as Silvan Widmer deflected a cross into his path.It was Insignes second brace in Serie A, having first achieved the feat against AC Milan in October 2015.Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri was impressed, especially since Insigne had a fever a day earlier.Considering what he did in those (10) minutes, it was a big confidence booster, Sarri said. Insigne can go two months without scoring but in the end skills are skills, and it shines through.Stipe Perica pulled one back for Udinese with a header following a corner but Napolis defense then clamped down.Karnezis also stretched out to palm wide a long, low shot from Dries Mertens.Napoli hadnt won at Udinese since September 2007.Udinese, which had a four-match unbeaten streak ended, was 14th.On Wednesday, Napoli hosts Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League.CHIEVO VERONA 1, CAGLIARI 0A century of matches proved worth the wait for Chievo Veronas 36-year-old fullback Massimo Gobbi.Gobbi scored early in the second half to help end Chievos five-match winless streak, exactly 100 matches after his previous Serie A goal with Parma in September 2013.Chievo moved up to eighth, two points ahead of Cagliari.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampfChris Martin Jersey .

Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2.Northampton gatecrashed Bristols Aviva Premiership homecoming after three first-half tries set up a comfortable victory at Ashton Gate.George North, number eight Louis Picamoles and Norths fellow wing Ken Pisi all breached Bristols defence during a dominant spell as the west country clubs first Premiership home fixture since 2009 ended in a 32-10 defeat.Saints could even afford to see their England captain Dylan Hartley go off at half-time - it was not immediately clear whether or not he had suffered an injury - and still emerge victorious, with fly-half Stephen Myler kicking two penalties and two conversions and Hartleys replacement Mike Haywood claiming a bonus point-clinching injury-time try that Harry Mallinder converted.Bristol enjoyed a far stronger second-half performance after being brushed aside during the opening 40 minutes, with Ross McMillan touching down and fly-half Tusi Pisi adding a conversion to en earlier penalty, but life is not about to get any easier for them, as their next three games are against Wasps, Exeter and Saracens.Bristol were without Wales international centre Gavin Henson due to a leg injury, so Ben Mosses partnered Will Hurrell in midfield and there was also a call-up for lock Ian Evans. Saints Wales star North, meanwhile, made his first start of the season, with Myler replacing Mallinder.And Northampton enjoyed a flying start, taking an eight-point lead in as many minutes after Myler kicked a penalty and North finished off a slick move that included an impressive defence-splitting pass from Hartley, before Tusi Pisi opened Bristols account with an angled penalty.Bristol, despite the optimism generated by a narrow bonus defeat against Harlequins last weekend, then conceded 17 points in six minutes as Northhampton stormed clear, albeit helped by a controversial decision.ddddddddddddReferee Craig Maxwell-Keys needed assistance from television match official Graham Hughes before awarding Picamoles a close-range try, but Maxwell-Keys then appeared to get it horribly wrong as Ken Pisi skipped outside Tom Varndells weak challenge and sprinted over, despite looking to have a foot in touch.Another Myler conversion, added to an earlier penalty, meant that Saints led 25-3 and were within sight of a try-scoring bonus point as Bristol battled to cope with the demands of the Premiership following seven years out of English rugbys top flight.Bristol had to absorb further pressure before half-time, yet Saints should have reached 30 points, but Hartley lost possession as he dived over Bristols line following a lineout surge.Bristol, though, had all it to do, trailing by 22 points at the interval and having shown no obvious sign of finding a way back into the contest.Hartley did not reappear for the second period, being replaced by Haywood, before Mallinder went on for George Pisi in midfield as Saints looked to reassert their control and territorial dominance.But Bristol struck first in the second half, capitalising on a strong run by Mosses as former Northampton forward McMillan barged over Saints line for a try that Tusi Pisi converted to give the home side a glimmer of hope.That was as good as it got for Bristol, though, with North going close to posting his second try before Bristol withstood late pressure until Haywood crashed over and Mallinder converted as Saints bounced back after last weekends home defeat against Bath.
