adminTorino came from behind to beat runaway leaders Juventus to secure their first Turin derby victory for 20 years. Juve would have wrapped up a fourth consecutive title with a win, coupled with a Lazio defeat, and led when Andrea Pirlo curled home a free-kick. Matteo Darmian levelled in style as he chipped the ball into the box with his first touch from a cross and lashed home with his second.
And Fabio Quagliarella tapped home against his old club for a famous win.
Second-placed Lazio drew 1-1 with Chievo, meaning a Juventus win would not have secured the title anyway.
But for Juve, the game was about more than the title as their 17-match unbeaten run and seven-game winning streak in the derby came to an end.
And they almost rescued a point late on, just moments after Josef Martinez had a goal disallowed for Torino.
Alessandro Matri’s cross hit the post and Simone Pepe was unable to turn in the rebound.
In injury time, Pirlo had a glorious chance to level but shinned his shot from 18 yards out, firing well over.
In Rome, Lazio led Chievo through Miroslav Klose but Alberto Paloschi levelled.
Lazio are one point above city rivals Roma in the battle for the final automatic Champions League spot.
Elsewhere, Antonio Nocerino scored the only goal as bankrupt Parma, who are being funded by the league to complete their fixtures, beat Palermo 1-0 to delay their inevitable relegation by a few more days. — Reuters
