Juventus 1-0 AS Roma: Former Defender Haunts Romans at Highly Anticipated Reunion in Turin

Juventus closed the gap on SSC Napoli at the top of the Serie A table with a thrilling 1-0 victory over high-flying AS Roma.

One goal from Medhi Benatia proved too much for the travelling Giallorossi, extending Roma's winless run against Juventus in Turin.

Edin Du017eeko had Roma's first sighter of goal, getting on the end of a Stephan El Shaarawy cross to test the reactions of Juve's defence.

Minutes later, Sami Khedira, Mario Mandu017eukiu0107 and Gonzalo Higuaín could have broken the deadlock for the hosts, but they all dragged their shot agonisingly wide.
