Claudio Marchisio and Sebastian Giovinco scored second half goals as Juventus beat 10-man Torino 3-0 to rack up their 60th win in the 'Derby della Mole' on Saturday. Juventus dominated throughout but apart from a solid performance from French midfielder Paul Pogba the bianconeri's first half display lacked real bite and even included a penalty miss from Andrea Pirlo.
Antonio Conte's side made amends in the second half, however, with Giovinco's 67th minute goal sandwiched by Marchisio's brace on 57 and 84 minutes after the expulsion of Torino defender Kamel Glik.
Juventus' 11th win in 14 games took their lead to five points over Napoli, who host Pescara on Sunday. A week after suffering only their second defeat of the season, at AC Milan, and four days before a crucial Champions League decider against Shakhtar Donestk, Marchisio said: "It's good to get back to winning ways. "It wasn't as easy as it looked, the derby is always a particular match but thankfully we came out on top and that will build our morale for the match in Donetsk." Both sides had their chances in the opening minutes however Juventus soon broke into their stride and Pogba came closest to the opener.
