A superb Cristiano Ronaldo header sent Juventus three points clear at the top of Serie A with a 2-1 victory at Sampdoria on Wednesday.

The Portugal star showed super-human athleticism, jumping 2.56 metres and remaining suspended in the air for 1.5 seconds, before powering in Alex Sandro's cross on the stroke of half-time - which proved to be the decisive goal.

Ronaldo spoke about his extraordinary goal after the game, commenting: 'I am very happy for the victory. It was a very difficult match, Sampdoria played very well. The team had a good attitude.
