Juventus moved to within two points of Serie A Leaders Inter Milan after Sunday’s hard-fought 1-0 win at AC Milan who had to play over half the match with 10 men.
Juve, who like Milan were missing a clutch of first-choice players from their startings XI, stay third but are within touching distance of Inter and a point behind Milan who have surrendered top spot to their local rivals.
Milan started the second half stronger but Locatelli’s deflected goal deflated the hosts and led to the rest of the match being almost a non-event, as Juve were content to simply control the match rather than press home their advantage.
