PAULO DYBALA and Gonzalo Higuain scored a goal in each half as Juventus made easy work of their Coppa Italia last-16 tie against Genoa.
The result means they are on course to win the competition for a fourth consecutive season.
Incredibly, Massimiliano Allegri has won the Coppa Italia — as well as Serie A — every season since he arrived in 2014.
And there was never any real threat of a first knock out arriving here.
Dybala had found himself on the bench for the past two games, with Allegri reportedly claiming he had been training poorly.
But he repaid his manager's faith in starting him tonight with a stunning opener on 42 minutes. Taking Federico Bernardeschi's lay off, he tucked the ball into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
Genoa have proved a personal favourite for Dybala this season, with his hat-trick earlier in the campaign sparking a comeback from 2-0 down.
Despite the home side's dominance, there was still one goal in it and the visitors through on impressive 16-year-old Pietro Pellegri.
However, the game was eventually put out of reach on 76 minutes when Higuainfinished off from the edge of the area.
