Despite Juventus enjoying the majority of possession, it was Torino who could have taken the lead inside 10 minutes when Gianluigi Buffon reacted superbly to deny Mario Santana.

The complexion of the match changed on 35 minutes as the hosts were dealt a blow when Kamil Glik was shown a straight red card for a tackle on Emanuele Giaccherini.

Juventus had the opportunity to pile on the misery before the break but Andrea Pirlo fired his penalty over the crossbar following a handball from Migjen Basha.

However, the hosts were ahead just 12 minutes into the second period when Claudio Marchisio headed in Sebastian Giovinco's inch-perfect cross.

It was Giovinco who doubled his side's lead with a low drive past a helpless Jean Francois Gillet in the Torino goal.

Marchisio completed the victory by grabbing his second of the game with a smart finish from inside the box following a knock-down by Mirko Vucinic.
