(Reuters) - Goals by forward Moise Kean and winger Angel Di Maria helped Juventus to a 2-0 victory at Spezia in Serie A on Sunday, extending their winning streak in the league to three games.

Substitute Di Maria sealed the win for Juve in the 66th with a low shot from a distance that sailed into the bottom corner.
