Juventus reach Italian Cup semis

In a rematch of last year's final, Italian Cup holder Juventus beat 10-man AC Milan 2-1 in the quarter-finals to avenge their more recent defeats to Vincenzo Montella's side.

Paulo Dybala and Miralem Pjanic scored for Juventus in the first half to leave Massimiliano Allegri's side on course for a third successive league and cup double.

Carlos Bacca reduced the deficit shortly after halftime but Manuel Locatelli was sent off moments later following a second booking.

Despite their numerical disadvantage, Milan played better in the second half but couldn't find the equaliser.

Juventus, who lead Serie A by four points, will face Napoli in the semi-final after the southern side beat Fiorentina 1-0 on Tuesday.
