A magnificent Adem Ljajic free kick was wiped out by Gonzalo Higuain in stoppages after a controversial red card, but Torino still ended the Juventus Serie A home win record.

The Bianconeri had notched up 33 consecutive home victories in the League, an all-time Serie A record stretching back to a 1-1 Frosinone draw on September 23, 2015.

Ljajic thought he had given Toro their first ‘away’ win in the Derby della Mole since April 1995 when his free kick went in off the underside of the bar, making it totally unstoppable.
