Alvaro Morata scored twice to help holders Juventus build a comfortable lead over 10-man Inter Milan in their Coppa Italia semi-final first leg.

The former Real Madrid striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Juan Cuadrado was fouled by Jeison Murillo.

Morata added the second before Murillo was dismissed for a second yellow card.

Substitute Paulo Dybala added the third following Kwadwo Asamoah's centre as Juventus made it nine straight wins.

The second leg in Milan is on 2 March.

In the other semi-final first leg, played on Tuesday, AC Milan beat third-tier Alessandria 1-0 thanks to a Mario Balotelli penalty, his first goal for four months.

The second leg of that tie takes place in Milan on 1 March.
