Juventus 4-2 Zenit: Player ratings as Bianconeri seal Champions League progress

Juventus sealed their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a comfortable 4-2 win over Zenit St Petersburg in Turin on Tuesday night.

Juve made a dominant start to proceedings, with Paulo Dybala seeing a low shot tipped onto the post before opening the scoring two minutes later, firing the ball into the ground and sending it arching into the net from Leonardo Bonucci's knock down.

Despite their early dominance, the Bianconeri were pegged back when Bonucci inadvertently looped a header over his own goalkeeper 26 minutes in.

Dybala went close again with a fine curling effort after half-time and doubled up from the penalty spot shortly afterwards after Federico Chiesa was tripped by Claudinho. The Argentine missed his initial spot kick but the referee somewhat harshly ordered it to be retaken due to encroachment, and the 27-year-old made no mistake at the second time of asking.

Wojciech Szczesny then made two good low saves before Weston McKennie slammed the crossbar at the other end following a mazy dribble.
