JUVENTUS used two late goals to beat Torino 2-0 in the Derby della Mole yesterday as the defending Serie A champion inched closer to its 29th Italian title.
Arturo Vidal scored three minutes from time to give Juventus the victory, shortly after Torino had been denied what looked like a clear penalty. Torino defender Kamil Glik was then sent off in the final minute before Claudio Marchisio sealed the result.
Antonio Conte's team is 11 points ahead of second-place Napoli and can secure the title against Palermo next weekend.
Juan Cuadrado, Adem Ljajic and Alberto Aquilani shared the goals for Fiorentina which will finish the weekend in third, the Champions League playoff spot, if AC Milan fails to beat Catania at home later yesterday It is two points ahead of Milan.
Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti, 39, was carried off on a stretcher in the 17th minute of the 0-1 defeat at Palermo which boosted its hopes of avoiding the drop. Elsewhere, Pablo Daniel Osvaldo scored a hat trick to help AS Roma to a 4-0 win over struggling Siena.
On Saturday, Napoli kept its slim title hopes alive with a 3-0 win at bottom side Pescara while Udinese jumped into fifth place thanks to a 1-0 victory at Cagliari.
Second-half goals from Gohkan Inler, Goran Pandev and Blerim Dzemaili put Napoli on 69 points.
Roberto Pereyra's curling strike after 56 minutes was enough to put Francesco Guidolin's Udinese on 54 points, one ahead of Inter.
Bologna had Alberto Gilardino's goal to thank for a 1-1 draw at Atalanta in Saturday's early kick-off after he cancelled out Luigi Giorgi's 67th-minute opener with 14 minutes left.
Cagliari, which had striker Mauricio Pinilla sent off in added time, stays 10th on 42 points, two points and one place above Bologna.
