Torino did give Juventus a real run for their money but after Kamil Glik saw red after 36 minutes after a dangerous challenge on Emmanuele Giaccherrini, it was always going to be tough for Torino to get a foot in and it seemed that it was going to be a matter of time before the great wall of Torino cracked.
After numerous chances, most of all from Paul Pogba, who had 5 shots, some were just wide but others were cracking saves by the Torino Keeper, Andrea Pirlo had a penalty after 41 minutes, it seemed as though lady luck was a Bianconeri, but to everyones surprise he ballooned it over!
The half ended goal less but with both teams still having to do some work, most notably Torino who had to try and deal with Juventus' attacks with a man light. It wasn't long before the pressure got to them and it the 57th minute Juve youth product and local lad Claudio Marchisio bravely headed in the goal that would break the deadlock. Ten minute later it was another "Turin lad" to score, Sebastion Giovinco coolly slotted in the second, Juve did not stop piling on the pressure as there was still time for an upset, Marchisio scored his second in the 84th minute to insure a comfortable victory.
This victory not only insured that Juve remain on top but was a glowing endorsement of Juve's youth Academy as they were in scintillating form. Now all eyes should turn to the Midweek clash against Shakhtar in the Champions League, where Juve just need a point to qualify but in all honesty all three would be even better!
