Juventus beat Roma 3-2 in a fiery clash to take sole lead of the Serie A on Sunday as the capital side dropped its first points of the season.
Leonardo Bonucci scored the winner four minutes from time with a screamer into the bottom left corner from just outside the area, although teammate Arturo Vidal was in a clear offside position.
Roma defender Kostas Manolas and Juventus striker Alvaro Morata were sent off following a brawl shortly afterward.
Juventus' early goals had been controversial too as Carlos Tevez converted two debatable first-half penalties. Juan Iturbe had given Roma the lead after Francesco Totti leveled from the spot.
Juventus moved three points ahead of Roma, with Sampdoria a point further back following a 1-0 victory over Atalanta.
