Juan Cuadrado put Juve ahead again just before the break but a Giorgio Chiellini own goal took it to 2-2, before Cuadrado won and scored a late penalty for a winner.

Both teams ended the game with 10 men, with Rodrigo Bentancur and Marcelo Brozovic sent off in the 55th minute and 92nd minute respectively.

Champions League qualification remains out of Juventus’ hands as fifth-placed Napoli will climb above Juve with a win against Fiorentina in Sunday.

Juve’s final game of the season is against Bologna on Sunday, 23 May.
