Juventus eventually earned a 2-0 victory after Chievo went down to nine men for two utterly bizarre red cards for Samuel Bastien and Fabrizio Cacciatore.
The Flying Donkeys practically committed suicide at the Stadio Bentegodi with two entirely avoidable incidents.
Stefano Sorrentino didn’t particularly have a save to make on the night, but Bastien had been booked only 120 seconds earlier when blatantly hauling back Kwadwo Asamoah by the collar for his second yellow card.

In the second half, Chievo held on admirably until Cacciatore took his dissent too far by doing the ‘handcuffs’ gesture made famous by Jose Mourinho at Inter and was shown a straight red.
Eventually, Sami Khedira drilled in a Federico Bernardeschi cutback and Gonzalo Higuain broke his goal drought with a late header.
