Turin is black & white! Juventus continue their streak and finish the Derby della Mole with a 1-0 away win. Locatelli's well-placed strike in the 86th minute turns the game around for the Bianconeri. 

The first half started rather disappointingly for Juve, with the home team Turin finding more chances and having more possession. However, the opponents were not able to create a truly threatening attack and the first half ended 0-0. The Bianconeri began to play with more conviction in the second half but the match remained goalless. At the 80th minute, Allegri subs Kulusevski on for Bernardeschi and the Swede makes an impact almost immediately. As the team continues to pressure and gain the upper hand, Alex Sandro passes to Chiesa who then times the pass well for Locatelli in the 86th minute. Locatelli adjusts quickly and slots it perfectly into the bottom right corner of the goal! The scoreline is maintained for the remaining minutes, 1-0 win for Juve!

The Juventus Women also faced a difficult opponent today, playing against Roma on their home turf. Prior to this match, both sides have won all their Serie A matches. Though it was Roma to first snatch the lead in the 27th minute, the Juve Women got back on track in the second half and equalized in the 65th minute through a goal from Rosucci. As the match neared its end, super-sub Staskova nods in a corner in the 87th minute and completes a comeback! 2-1, Juve Women win the three points to continue their all-win season run so far!
