Match Reports
Matthijs de Ligt scored his first Juventus goal as the Serie A champions earned a 1-0 win at rivals Torino in the Derby della Mole.
The start of De Ligt's Juve career has not been easy but the Netherlands centre-back had a moment to remember in the 70th minute of a bad-tempered clash on Saturday.
Juve had been unable to break the deadlock but when Gonzalo Higuain knocked a corner into his path, De Ligt showed a striker's instinct to break Salvatore Sirigu's resistance.
Victory moved Juve back to the top of the Serie A table above Inter, with the Bianconeri now having won on 10 of their past 11 league visits to Torino.

Match Events
14' De Ligt handball overlooked by ref
NO PENALTY! A corner comes in and strikes De Ligt on the arm, with furious appeals from the Torino players! However, following a VAR check, the referee waves the claims away!
19' Ronaldo header over the bar
OVER! A cross comes in from the right at an awkward height and Ronaldo goes for a diving header, but it loops over the top-left corner and onto the roof of the net!
44' De Ligt and Bonucci attempts saved!
SAVE! Sirigu makes a great fingertip save as Bonucci meets a free-kick at the back post and powers it at goal. Perhaps he should have looked to go across goal for a team-mate instead.
57' CLOSE! Ronaldo strike denied
SAVE! Ronaldo works a yard on the right and thumps a low effort across the goalkeeper that Sirigu does well to keep out!
70' GOAL! Torino 0-1 Juventus (De Ligt)
GOAL!!! DE LIGT GIVE JUVENTUS THE LEAD! It's the centre-back's first goal for the club since joining from Ajax and what a time to get it! Higuain helps a corner on to the Dutchman, who is unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box, and he fires it in! It's 1-0 to Juventus!
93: No goal! Torino goal ruled out.
NO GOAL!! A free-kick was cleared and hoofed back into the area, before Bremer took the ball on his chest, turned and lashed it in! However, the flag correctly goes up for offside!
