MILAN (Reuters) - Gonzalo Higuain scored two first-half goals to give Juventus a 2-0 win at bottom club Pescara which took them eight points clear at the top of Serie A on Saturday and closer to a sixth successive title. Juventus were given a helping hand by Atalanta who held second-placed AS Roma to a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico. Juventus have 80 points with Roma on 72 and Napoli 67 ahead of their match at home to Udinese later on Saturday. Milan stayed sixth, the last of the Europa League spots, and two points clear of seventh-placed Inter. Alessio Romagnoli reduced the arrears after 83 minutes as Milan complained about Inter time-wasting and Zapata levelled seven minutes into stoppage time.
