Juventus thrashed AS Roma 4-1 at the Olimpico in Serie A on Saturday.

A brace from Vincenzo Iaquinta on 34 and 55 minutes and goals from Olof Mellberg and Pavel Nedved secured Juve's big win.

Simone Loria scored Roma's only goal of the game three minutes after the interval.

Iaquinta hit his first after cutting inside to beat Loria before sending a brilliantly curled shot past Alexandre Doni.

Roma equalized right after the restart through Loria's volley from a right-sided corner.

However, Iaquinta added Juventus' second in the 55th minute after heading Hasan Salihamidzic's deflected cross off the ground and into the Roma net.

The Old Lady confirmed their superiority over the game as Mellberg converted Sebastian Giovinco's corner towards Doni's far corner.

In the 74th minute Nedved produced the best strike of the game by latching onto a high lose ball with a powerful left-footed volley.
