Juventus got the better of AC Milan and kept up their winning streak at home thanks to a last-gasp Paulo Dybala penalty.
A Mehdi Benatia goal on the half hour was cancelled out by Carlos Bacca just before the break and as the game looked to be heading for a 1-1 draw, Mattia De Sciglio was adjudged by referee Massa to have handled in the 18-yard box.
The referee duly pointed to the spot and although Stephan Lichtsteiner’s cross hit him at point-blank range and appeared to strike his stomach rather than his hand.
The result means Juventus have now won their last 31 consecutive home matches, and extend their lead atop Serie A to 11 points over second place Roma who visit Palermo on Sunday.
