Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty gave Juventus a seventh consecutive Serie A victory as Torino’s Simone Zaza endured a nightmare moment in a 1-0 defeat to his former club in the Derby della Mole.
Torino held their own for 70 minutes in a cagey affair until Zaza dribbled haphazardly back towards his own box with Leonardo Bonucci in pursuit.
The forward then sold Salvador Ichazo short with a terrible backpass and the substitute goalkeeper brought down Mario Mandzukic.
Ronaldo converted despite Ichazo’s best efforts for his 11th Serie A goal of the season, which is also Juventus’ 5000th goal in Serie A history, extending Juve’s lead at the summit to 11 points.
