Juan Cuadrado is one of the few Juventus players who has significantly improved under Andrea Pirlo. The Columbian proved his worth with a good outing against Napoli.

He was a menace down the right flank, as Gennaro Gattuso' men struggled to contain him for large swathes of the game.

Cuadrado had a hand in both Juventus goals on the night.

#2 Flop - Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli)

Kalidou Koulibaly

Kalidou Koulibaly has been a key player for Napoli. The former Metz defender is undoubtedly one of the best centre-backs in the world and has been one of the most consistent performers for the Blues. But the 29-year-old struggled to contain Juventus on the night.

The 6' 1" defender was at fault for both Juventus goals. For the first one, he was caught out of position as he failed to check Ronaldo's movement, while for the second, he allowed Dybala to take a free shot on target.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Serie A top scorer this season, was on target yet again with an immaculate finish in the first half. With 25 goals in just 26 league appearances, Ronaldo has only gotten better with age.

After missing a header from point-blank range in the game's opening exchanges, Ronaldo made amends with a smart finish to open the scoring for Juventus.

Although he couldn't impose himself more on the game, Ronaldo did his job to help Juventus secure a key win that sees them move third, three points above fifth-placed Napoli.
