Juventus missed the chance to claim a third successive win in Serie A after being held 1-1 by Venezia.
Former Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata broke the deadlock with a near-post finish from Luca Pellegrini’s cross.
But the hosts equalised through Mattia Aramu’s curling finish from the edge of the area.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side carved out the better opportunities in Venice, with Kaio Jorge steering a close-range effort over the crossbar early on and Juan Cuadrado shooting narrowly wide late in the first half.
Morata was also denied by Venezia goalkeeper Sergio Romero five minutes before opening the scoring.
Twenty of the Spaniard’s last 30 Serie A goals have come in away matches, including six of his last seven in Italy’s top flight.
The chances continued to come and go but Allegri’s men could not find a winner, with the draw meaning Juve fell to sixth in the standings, 10 points off leaders AC Milan, who play later on Saturday.
Newly-promoted Venezia, who avoided defeat for the first time in four league games, stay 16th on 16 points from 17 games.
