Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty settled the Turin derby as Serie A champions Juventus maintained their unbeaten start to the season by beating Torino.
Ronaldo scored his 11th league goal from the penalty spot after substitute goalkeeper Salvador Ichazo had brought down Mario Mandzukic in the box.
Torino has chances themselves, but Armando Izzo headed over and Andrea Belotti had an effort saved.
Juve have collected a possible 46 points from 48 available this term.
The only blemish from their opening 16 games of the season came in a 1-1 draw against Genoa.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side were far from their best against their city rivals, yet managed to grind out victory which extends their lead over second-placed Napoli to 11 points.
They could have had a second goal shortly after breaking the deadlock on 70 minutes, but Croatia striker Mandzukic’s strike at the far post was ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee. (BBC)

Victor Osimhen appreciates his decision to join Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, adding that he didn’t want anyone to decide his future. The Nigeria striker made this assertion while reflecting on his protracted summer transfer saga that saw Napoli desperately sell him off to Al-Ahli and Chelsea in the embers of the window, with the latter his long-term choice destination offering peanuts for his signature. The 25-year-old said that he was prepared to remain at Napoli for another three or four months and secure a move to one of his suitors in January, reiterating the relief ushered by the Galatasaray offer. “I had plans to stay there and wait for three or four months and leave in January, but I think for me it was fair also to stay there because I wouldn’t let anyone decide for me,” Osimhen told Turkish media, including TRT Spor, from the Galatasaray training centre.
