Carloz Tevez struck again to help Juventus beat Torino 1-0 in a derby match on Sunday as Antonio Conte's side maintained its charge to a third straight Serie A title.
Tevez scored the only goal of the game on the half hour mark, although Torino will feel aggrieved not to have been awarded a late penalty when Omar El Kaddouri appeared to be tripped by Andrea Pirlo.
It was Tevez's 13th goal of the season and sees him move level with Giuseppe Rossi at the top of the goalscoring table.
Juventus moved nine points ahead of second-placed Roma, which has a game in hand.
In the race for the final Europa League spot, Torino slipped four points below fifth-placed Inter Milan which could only draw 1-1 at home to relegation-threatened Cagliari.
