Juventus celebrate Serie A title as Gonzalo Higuain's Napoli finish second

By -

Juventus were presented with their Serie A winers' medals on Saturday.

Juventus celebrated their fifth straight Serie A title in style after a 5-0 thrashing of 10-manSampdoria on Saturday.

There was a party atmosphere at the Juventus Stadium as Massimiliano Allegri's team were presented with the trophy after the match. Juventus finished on 91 points, having clinched the title on April 25.

Juventus took an early lead when Patrice Evra headed in Paulo Dybala's free kick in the fifth minute.

It swiftly went from bad to worse for Sampdoria, who had Martin Skriniar sent off in the 12th minute for bringing down Mario Mandzukic. Dybala converted the resulting penalty and doubled his tally shortly before half-time.

Goals from Giorgio Chiellini, who was making his first start since April 2, and Leonardo Bonucci capped the win.

Gonzalo Higuain broke Serie A's 66-year-old league record for goals in a season with a hat trick in Napoli's 4-0 win over Frosinone.

He broke Gunnar Nordahl's record, set in the 1949-1950 season, with a spectacular overhead kick in the 71st minute.

After Mirko Gori was sent off for the visitors in the 13th minute, Marek Hamsik gave Napoli the lead shortly before the break before Higuain took over in the second half, scoring all three goals in a 20-minute span.

The result secured Napoli's second-placed finish and a spot in the Champions League group stage next year.

Despite winning 3-1 at AC Milan, Roma finished third and will enter the Champions League in the playoff round.

Mohamed Salah, Stephan El Shaarawy and Emerson were on the scoresheet for Roma before Carlos Bacca scored a late consolation goal for Milan, whose only hopes of Europe next season will be to beat Juventus in the Coppa Italia final.

Matteo Politano scored twice as Sassuolodefeated Inter 3-1.

After Politano and Lorenzo Pellegrini both scored to put Sassuolo ahead, Rodrigo Palacio pulled one back for Inter, only for Politano to add his second in the 39th minute.

Jeison Murillo was sent off in the second half for Inter, who were already assured of fourth place and a spot in the Europa League group stage.

Sassuolo will finish sixth unless fifth-placed Fiorentina lose by eight goals or more on Sunday. Sixth would be enough to enter the Europa League in the third qualifying round if Milan do not beat Juventus in the cup final.
