Juventus moved four points clear at the top of Serie A after a 2-1 win over Udinese on Saturday.
The much-anticipated match at the Juventus Arena pitted Antonio Conte's league leaders against the third-placed Udinese.
And the match lived up to the expectations as Juve extended their unbeaten record in Serie A to an incredible 21 matches.
Alessandro Matri gave Juventus the lead just before half-time after he converted Fabio Quagliarella's assist but Udinese hit back 11 minutes after the break.
Antonio Floro Flores was the man who scored the leveller, with Francesco Guidolin's decision to bring the Italian off the bench proving a masterstroke.
But parity lasted just six minutes before Matri got his second and that was enough to give the hosts a well-deserved victory.
Also on Saturday, Parma came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw at Catania.
Gonzalo Bergessio scored the opener on 34 minutes but Francesco Modesto equalised 10 minutes later for the visitors.
