ALESSANDRO Del Piero came off the bench to help Juventus to a 2-0 win over Inter Milan in Serie A on Sunday as Antonio Conte's team kept the pressure on leader AC Milan.
Inter left Martin Caceres completely unmarked to head Juventus into the lead in the 57th minute and Del Piero, who had scored in midweek against AC Milan in the Italian Cup, sealed the result in the 70th.
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon pulled off a string of fantastic saves in the first half to keep his side level in the hotly contested match, known as Italy's derby.
Milan, which beat Roma 2-1 on Saturday, leads second-placed Juventus by four points but Del Piero, in his last season with Juventus after 19 years at the club, has urged his teammates to keep believing.
"We believe we can win the title because we have the ability, of course Milan is ahead and has its destiny in its own hands," the Juventus captain said. "We have to be good at picking up points every game hoping that Milan loses some."
Inter slipped to eighth and has now won just one of its past 10 league games.
Elsewhere, Catania came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Napoli after late goals from Nicolas Spolli and substitute Davide Lanzafame. The result is a blow to Napoli's bid for third place, especially after Modibo Diakite's late winner gave Lazio a 1-0 victory against Cagliari.
