A stunning strike by veteran Alessandro Del Piero helped Juventus to a 3-0 win over 10-man Roma on Tuesday which put the Serie A leaders into the Italian Cup semi-finals.

Juventus took an early lead through Emanuele Giaccherini before Del Piero doubled his side’s advantage in the 30th minute with a perfect curling effort.

It was the 37-year-old veteran’s first goal for Juventus this season and the popular forward was resoundingly applauded when he went off 13 minutes from time.

Any chance Roma had of getting back into the match all but evaporated when Erik Lamela was sent off in the 69th for kicking Giorgio Chiellini.

Roma’s miserable night was complete when defender Simon Kjaer fired into his own net in the final minute.

Juve, which is unbeaten this campaign, will meet AC Milan or Lazio in the next round.
