Genoa coach Gian Piero Gasperini was delighted with two-goal Thiago Motta after their 3-2 victory over Juventus.

He said: "We have known for some time that Thiago Motta is excellent. Undoubtedly he is a world class player who is back to his best. I think any team that stays in these top spots consistently has to have some great talents in its squad."
