Paulo Dybala continued his electrifying start to the season bagging a hat trick at Seria A stragglers Sassuolo to send Juve joint top with Inter Milan. 

The Argentine opened the scoring in the first-half in spectacular fashion as he fired home from 25 yards out, and later completed his hat trick with a neatly place free-kick. 

Sassuolo had just one consolation to the game, an early second-half tap in by Matteo Politano gave the home side some hope. But all hope was dismantled when Dybala’s keen eye for goal guided his free-kick in for the win.
