ROME -- An early onslaught of goals gave Juventus a comfortable 4-1 win over Roma and old nemesis Zdenek Zeman on Saturday, extending the Turin clubs unbeaten streak in Serie A to 45 matches. Patrick Willis Jersey . Midfield maestro Andrea Pirlo gave Juve the lead with an expertly placed free kick in the 11th minute at Juventus Stadium, Arturo Vidal converted a penalty in the 16th and Alessandro Matri added another in the 19th for his first goal since February. Pablo Osvaldo pulled one back for Roma with a penalty in the 69th and Sebastian Giovinco restored Juves three-goal lead in the 90th. "We tried to play our match from the start but Juventus was far better," said Zeman, whose accusations 14 years ago led to a doping investigation into Juventus. Also, budget-strained AC Milan gave up the lead in a 1-1 draw at Parma, reviving the possibility that club president Silvio Berlusconi could remove manager Massimiliano Allegri. Teenage striker Stephen El Shaarawy put Milan ahead in the 50th with his fourth goal in three matches but Daniele Galloppa equalized in the 66th with a free kick that passed through a porous Milan wall on a rainy night at the Ennio Tardini stadium. At the top of the table, Juventus moved three points ahead of Napoli, which visits Sampdoria on Sunday. Roma is eight points back. Milan, which has just two wins in six matches, fell nine points behind. Zemans accusations 14 years ago during his first stint as Roma coach led to a disturbing doping investigation into Juventus. In 2004, Juventus physician Riccardo Agricola was convicted of administering banned substances, including the hormone EPO, to Juventus players from 1994-98, and was handed a suspended sentence of 22 months. He was cleared on appeal a year later. Former Juve players continue to exchange verbal jabs with Zeman, but the jabs on the pitch this time were almost all in one direction, as Juventus controlled from the start. "I saw little today of what weve been training and trying to do," said Zeman, who was escorted off the pitch by several security guards. "Matches like these should teach us a lot." On Tuesday, Juventus hosts Shakhtar Donetsk for its first Champions League home match in three years. Milan visits Zenit St. Petersburg on Wednesday. However, Milan is still struggling to overcome the loss of an entire squads worth of top players, including the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, who both bolted for Paris Saint-Germain in the off-season. Stalwarts Alessandro Nesta, Gennaro Gattuso and Clarence Seedorf also left. "In the first half we controlled and there were no risks," Allegri said. "In the second half there wasnt as much space and we had trouble creating. Im sorry, but unfortunately thats how football works. If you dont close out matches you leave yourself at risk. Its too bad. ... We really wanted to win today, because its Berlusconis birthday." Allegri yelled at his players to move closer together in the wall for Galloppas free kick, to no avail. "The wall needs to be compact and stay still and shouldnt allow the ball to pass underneath it," Allegri said. "Especially on a night like this, when its tough to kick it over the wall." Parma is coached by former Milan standout Roberto Donadoni, who is among those being mentioned as a possible replacement for Allegri. "At least 70 to 80 coaches around the world would like to sit on Milans bench, but for the time being Im here and Im in complete synthesis with (Parma management)," Donadoni said. "Then well see what the future will bring." Parma is one point behind Milan. Milan controlled for much of the match but had trouble finding the target. Newly signed Bojan Krkic, Kevin-Prince Boateng and El Shaarawy were among the most active players for the Rossoneri. Bojan, in particular, made a big impact. The Spanish forward placed a long shot just over the bar in the 43rd, then provided the cross that led to El Shaarawys goal, with the 19-year-old then dribbling by a defender and scoring with an angled shot. In the 52nd, Bojan set up Boateng behind the defence with an excellent vertical pass but the midfielder headed wide, and Parma then began to push forward at the other end.

But two years later, the former first round pick is rounding into form. Spiller, the ninth overall pick out of Clemson in the 2010 draft, will once again be thrust into the starting role in Buffalos backfield when the Bills (0-1) host Kansas City (0-1) Sunday. With starter Fred Jackson out with a knee injury sustained in last weeks loss to the Jets, the rushing load will be squarely on Spillers shoulders for at least the next month. Itll be the second straight season in which Spiller has been plugged in as the main man following a Jackson injury. In relief, Spiller began showing signs of breaking out after Jackson broke his leg in a game against Miami in Week 11. "It definitely gives you confidence to know that you can do it," said Spiller, who averaged nearly 90 yards rushing in each of the final three games last season. "But the quote that I am going to stick by for the whole year is past success doesnt guarantee future success. I cant just bank on what I did the last six weeks to say Im capable." After Jackson went down, Spiller came in and picked up a career-high 169 yards on 14 carries, including an electrifying 56-yard touchdown scamper against the Jets. And since Week 13 of last season, his total of 757 yards from scrimmage is the fourth-most in the league. "He handled being the guy at the end of last year really well, so I expect him to handle that this year as well, how ever long were in this situation," coach Chan Gailey said. "Hes not the biggest back in the world, but hes really strong for his size. I think hell be able to handle it. He had a great gamee, made some great runs, showed great speed and burst. Patrick Willis Youth Jersey. " It was that burst of speed that Spiller was unable to unlock during a frustrating rookie campaign. Garnering a mere 283 yards rushing in 2010, Spiller seemed lost when he touched the ball. Used to turning something into nothing throughout his stellar career at Clemson -- where he finished second in NCAA Division I history with 7,588 all-purpose yards -- Spiller found the NFL terrain much more difficult to navigate. Rather than busting long runs, Spiller was on the verge of being labeled a bust after his uninspiring first year. But after averaging 5.2 yards per carry on 107 carries last season, followed by his showing against the Jets, Spiller is efficiently quieting his doubters one by one. "I was a rookie coming into the NFL and, of course, you get a Top 10 pick and there are high expectations," he said. "Ive learned a lot over the past couple of years, and taking the mindset that anything between three to eight yards is a great run. I think that was probably my biggest adjustment, just because of the success that I had on the college level. I tried to translate it over. But once I realized that, I think that kind of helped in my advantage." That maturation has helped Spiller become a better runner between the tackles, and his rookie habit of trying to dance around the defence is a thing of the past. "With C.J., the biggest thing is confidence," quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. "Last year he found that confidence at the end of the year after Fred (Jackson) went down and he became the man. So you could see in that game vs. the Jets, the C.J. that was there at the end of last year with the swagger and all that. "Hes here to stay." ' ' '
