Torino are huffing and puffing, looking to find a way back into this game. But they appear to have run out of ideas. Juventus, when they go a goal up, are notoriously difficult to break down.
Torino 0-1 Juventus

Juventus are doing everything they can to slow the game down, to stop any momentum building for Torino. They're experts at it. Since they went in front, there haven't been any chances of note for the home side.

Baselli curls in a free kick but De Sciglio goes down in the box and wins Juventus a free kick. The visitors look relatively untroubled. Another clean sheet, and the continuation of their long unbeaten run, looks increasingly likely.

Four minutes of added time for Torino to find an equaliser.

Torino 0-1 Juventus
90+3 minutes
Torino look bereft of ideas and energy. They've put everything into this, but time is quickly running out, and Juventus are keeping the ball in their half.
Full time: Juventus hold on. They've done what they do best: a hard fought away win in difficult conditions. Ronaldo's penalty sends them 11 points clear at the top and gives them the bragging rights over their city rivals.
It's Ronaldo, fittingly, who scores a record-setting goal for Juventus in Serie A.
