Substitute Paulo Dybala scored an 89th-minute penalty to earn Juventus a draw at Inter Milan and keep them within touching distance of the top four.
Inter’s Denzel Dumfries was ruled to have caught Alex Sandro inside the box, with the referee making the decision after viewing the pitchside monitor.
Inter were furious with the decision — coach Simone Inzaghi was sent off for his protestations — as they had to settle for a draw that left them third in the standings with 18 points, while Juventus climbed to sixth a further three points adrift.
Edin Dzeko had put Inter ahead in the Derby d’Italia, turning in after Hakan Calhanoglu struck the post from range.
Napoli earlier drew 0-0 with fourth-placed Roma to move back above AC Milan at the top of the Serie A table.
Inter are seven points adrift of the top two in third, while the draw keeps Juventus one point from a Champions League place in sixth.
“I think it’s a very important point. We are Juventus, we play to win, but today we faced a team that plays good football,” Dybala told DAZN.
“I think that after so many years here, my time has come.”
Massimiliano Allegri was pleased to see his side continue their revival.
“The first half performance was good, the second even better,” Allegri told DAZN. “It’s a good point, it keeps us within three points of Inter and allows us to continue this positive run of results.”
