Cristiano Ronaldo marked his a thousandth senior appearance through scoring his 725th career goal as Juventus narrowly beat bottom-of-the-table SPAL 2-1 to continue to be top of Serie A.

The Portuguese opened the scoring in the thirty ninth minute, latching on to a pass from Juan Cuadrado.

Aaron Ramsey doubled the benefit on the hour mark with his third goal of the season however Juve continued a nervy ending as SPAL pulled a goal back with a VAR-awarded penalty.
