Match ends, Empoli 0, Juventus 3.
Serie A leaders Juventus scored three goals in five minutes as they eased to victory over strugglers Empoli.
It took a dominant Juve until the 65th minute to take the lead as Paulo Dybala finished high past Lukasz Skorupski.
Gonzalo Higuain doubled their advantage two minues later with a powerful left-footed drive from the edge of the area.
And the Argentina strker added a third in the 70th minute, capitalising on Marco Zambelli's error to round goalkeeper Skorupski and score.
The victory extended Juventus' lead at the top of Serie A to four points as second-placed Napoli lost 1-0 at Atalanta.
