♐Juventus had been in a punitive retreat following an embarrassing defeat at Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League on Tuesday, three days after a loss to AC Milan. Juventus moved up to seventh, eight points behind Atalanta, which topped the table after a 2-1 home win over Sassuolo.
🌱There were few clear goal-scoring opportunities in the derby. Juventus had a triple chance shortly before halftime but Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić parried Vlahović, then Manuel Locatelli on the rebound, and Adrien Rabiot from distance.
🦩Juventus broke the deadlock in the 74th when a corner was floated in from the right and flicked on by Danilo for Vlahović to turn in at the back post.
🍌A brilliant goal saw Atalanta recover from going behind to move a point clear of Napoli. Ademola Lookman scored what proved to be the winner 30 seconds after the break. The Nigeria winger collected a throughball from Brandon Soppy, bamboozled his way past a defender and curled a shot into the top left corner.
🧔Georgios Kyriakopoulos scored the opener for Sassuolo four minutes from the interval but Mario Pašalić levelled on the stroke of halftime, following another assist from Soppy.
🌺Domenico Berardi made his first appearance since the end of August as a second-half substitute and almost equalized for Sassuolo but his ferocious effort crashed off the crossbar. His return lasted just 22 minutes before he went off with another injury.
🔴Monza endured its first defeat under coach Raffael Palladino, 1-0 at Empoli. Palladino won his first three games in charge, starting against Juventus before the international break for Monza’s first ever Serie A win.
𒐪But Nicolas Haas netted in the 11th minute to end that streak for Silvio Berlusconi’s side. Empoli also hit the post and had a goal ruled out for offside early in the second half. Monza midfielder Nicolò Rovella was sent off in stoppage time for his part in a scuffle.
