Ten-man Torino were cruelly denied a shock win away to their more illustrious neighbours Juventus when Gonzalo Higuain struck in stoppage time to salvage a 1-1 draw for the Serie A leaders.

However, Torino succeeded in ending Juve's run of 33 successive home league wins and denied them the chance to wrap up the title this weekend.

Adem Ljajic gave Torino a 52nd-minute lead with an exquisite free kick but the side were incensed when Afriyie Acquah was sent off five minutes later after two harshly awarded yellow cards.

Torino were holding their own until Higuain, who started on the bench, collected the ball on the edge of the penalty area and beat Joe Hart with a shot of stunning precision into the bottom left-hand corner.

With three matches to play Juventus have 85 points, eight ahead of Napoli who earlier beat Cagliari 3-1. Roma, who visit Milan tomorrow, are a further two points back in third.
