TURIN: Goals from Timothy Weah and Kenan Yildiz saw Juventus maintain their impressive run against neighbours Torino with a 2-0 home win on Saturday, while AC Milan dropped points in an entertaining 3-3 draw at Cagliari. With the win Juventus extended their unbeaten streak in the Turin Derby, moving them provisionally up to fourth in the Serie A standings. Juve are on 24 points, level with third-placed Inter Milan. Torino are 11th in the standings on 14 points. Torino arrived at the Juventus Stadium with a dismal record against their city rivals, failing to win in their previous 18 meetings, and their current form offered little hope of that changing, with five defeats in their last six games. Weah was quickest to react when Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic spilled a shot in the 18th minute and a Yildiz header six minutes from time wrapped up all three points as Juve remain the only undefeated side in Serie A. “It was another good performance where we brought the three points home,” Juventus coach Thiago Motta told Sky Sport Italia.“I am happy both with the result and the performance, in a derby on home turf, and thank our fans for their support.” Both sets of fans created plenty of noise to match the occasion but the players largely failed to respond on the pitch. Torino did at least manage to spend more time in the opposition half after the break but never looked like equalising. In tribute to his hero and former Juve player Alessandro Del Piero, who celebrated his 50th birthday on Saturday, Yildiz celebrated just like his idol with his tongue out as he raced away, the brightest moment in a mostly dour derby. Earlier on Saturday, Milan fell further behind the title race after twice throwing away the lead in a thrilling draw with Cagliari. The Rossoneri remain seventh but are now four points off the Champions League places. Rafael Leao scored twice in the first half to give Milan the lead after Nadir Zortea’s early opener. Cagliari struck back soon after the break through Gabriele Zappa before Tammy Abraham restored the visitors’ lead, only for Zappa to score a sensational equaliser in the final stages. “This draw is clearly a step backwards,” Milan coach Paulo Fonseca said to DAZN, referencing his side’s midweek 3-1 victory in the Champions League against Real Madrid. “Our problem today was our defence, we lacked aggression, we let them cross too much, we lost too many aerial duels, it’s not possible to win a match in those conditions.” For the home side, the draw takes them to 16th place on 10 points, one clear of the drop zone.Meanwhile. Parma came from behind to beat bottom-of-the-table Venezia 2-1 away from home. Hans Nicolussi Caviglia opened the scoring for the hosts but goals either side of the break from Emanuele Valeri and Ange-Yoan Bonny moved Parma up to 14th, three points clear of the relegation zone.
