Max Allegri explained Juventus let Torino tire themselves out and “took control of the match” in the second half, but he didn’t see the goal.

The Derby della Mole was decided by a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty when Mario Mandzukic pounced on Simone Zaza’s poor back-pass.

“I didn’t see the penalty, as I turned my back to it. I very rarely watch the penalties, to be honest,” the Coach told DAZN.

“I didn’t see the penalty, as I turned my back to it. I very rarely watch the penalties, to be honest,” the Coach told DAZN.

“It was rarely going to be a game with a lot of goals. When Toro’s tempo and intensity began to fall away, we took control of the match.

“It was an extremely difficult fixture, because it the derby, because Torino were coming off a strong period of form and we played in the Champions League only three days ago.

“The team was set out well, the lads showed a spirit of self-sacrifice and were very unified. In the first half, Torino caused us problems with their pressing, but we took control after the break and our forwards did well.

“It’s a positive sign that we emerged in the long run, as it means the team is in good shape physically. This is a positive result and it allows us to take another step forward.”
