Juventus's miserable form continued today when substitute Mariano Izco's late goal condemned the Turin side to a 2-1 home defeat by Serie A strugglers Catania.
Bosnian midfielder Hasan Salihamidzic had fired the hosts level from short range in the 66th minute to cancel out Jorge Martinez's 23rd-minute spot kick for the Sicilian visitors.
Juventus remain third after their third consecutive defeat in all competitions with 30 points from 17 games, six behind leaders Inter Milan, who host Lazio later today in the last game before the winter break.
AC Milan are second with 31 points and a game in hand after their visit to Fiorentina on Saturday was one of four of this weekend's fixtures to be postponed by heavy snow.
