| juventus came from behind to beat Benevento with Gonzalo Higuain getting on the scoresheet |
Second-half goals from Gonzalo Higuain and Juan Cuadrado meant Juventus came from behind to inflict a 12th straight Serie A defeat on struggling Benevento.
After Juve's Douglas Costa had twice hit the woodwork, basement boys Benevento stunned the Allianz Stadium crowd when Amato Ciciretti's 19th-minute free-kick landed in the back of Wojciech Szczesny's net.
But Higuain volleyed in his fifth goal in four games in all competitions to level things up 12 minutes into the second period, before Cuadrado nodded in eight minutes later to secure the points.
The result lifts Juve above Inter Milan into second, just one point behind leaders Napoli after they were held to a 0-0 draw at Chievo.
