Champions Juventus took their Serie 'A’ unbeaten run to 20 games with a 4-1 derby win at Torino that saw goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon set a new clean sheet record of 973 minutes.
Juventus made the short trip to the Stadio Olimpico looking to make amends for their spectacular Champions League collapse at Bayern Munich.
And Massimiliano Allegri’s men responded to their last 16 defeat in style, Paul Pogba firing the visitors ahead on 33 minutes before Sami Khedira took their half-time lead to 2-0.
Keeper Buffon sets new league record Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has broken one of Serie A’s greatest records, going 930 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal. Buffon broke the 22-year-old Italian league record in the fourth minute of the Derby della Mole.
The unbeaten record was held by Sebastiano Rossi, who kept a clean sheet for 929 consecutive minutes for AC Milan from December 12, 1993, to February, 27, 1994.
Buffon has conceded just one league goal in 2016, Antonio Cassano’s strike for Sampdoria. Buffon has been at Juventus since 2001.
