Buffon keeps 200th clean sheet for Juventus in win over Roma

The 38-year-old was the usual safe pair of hands as the Serie A champions picked up a narrow win to extend their lead at the top

Gianluigi Buffon held his 200th clean sheet for Juventus in Saturday's 1-0 win over Roma.

The Serie A champions extended their lead at the top of the table over their main contenders to seven points thanks to Gonzalo Higuain's 14th-minute strike.

While the Bianconeri attack otherwise struggled to break through the visitors' defence they were able to rely upon the 38-year-old, who still looks on the top of his game.
