Pogba's goal sees Juventus record 8th consecutive win over Milan

Milan - Paul Pogba struck a second-half winner as Juventus continued its march towards a record-equalling fifth Serie A title with a 2-1 victory at AC Milan on Saturday.

Juventus, who last won five titles on the trot in 1935, is now nine points clear of second-placed Napoli before the latter hosts basement side Verona on Sunday.

Milan's second consecutive defeat has put a further dent in the struggling Serie A giants' bid to qualify for next season's Europa League. Ahead of the remaining fixtures on Sunday, Sinisa Mihajlovic's men remain sixth, but could be 10 points behind fifth-placed Fiorentina if the Viola beats Empoli.

Juventus has now gone 22 consecutive games unbeaten, a run that includes 21 wins and a draw.
