Juventus snatched a 2-1 win over rivals Torino in the Derby della Mole at the Juventus Stadium on Saturday evening in Serie A.
Paul Pogba opened the scoring with a wonderfully taken half-volley, but Cesare Bovo levelled for the Granata in the second half before Juan Cuardrado bundled the ball over the line in stoppage time.
The Bianconeri took the lead in spectacular fashion. Paulo Dybala allowed the ball to run, giving Paul Pogba the chance to thunder the ball past Daniele Padelli on the half-volley from distance.
Torino tried to respond, Fabio Quagliarella putting his shot just wide of the post after a well worked move. Maxi Lopez nearly managed to poke the ball past Gianluigi Buffon before half time, but fouled Leonardo Bonucci in the process.
In the second half, the two sides were level. A poorly executed free kick from Cesare Bovo was followed up by the defender, who blasted his shot past Buffon on the edge of the area. The Granata tried to press their advantage, Kamil Glik was the next to come close, but Buffon denied him brilliantly from a corner.
The Old Lady went in search of a winner with time running out. Pogba was in front of goal once again, but his shot lacked the power and was claimed by Padelli easily. Dybala tried his luck from range, but it was deflected behind. At the other end, Glik had another chance with a towering header, but it flew straight at Buffon who just about kept it going over the line.
Bonucci hit the bar in the dying minutes, and just before the final whistle Juan Cuadrado connected with the cross from Alex Sandro and slid the ball over the line; earning all three points for Juve.
