Thanks for joining us tonight. Report to follow on the website - follow us on Twitter @eurosportcom_en and myself @liamhappe, and join us tomorrow for more Serie A action as the second half of the season continues to kick off across Italy!
90'
No stoppage time, mercifully: Roma are defeated 3-0 at Juventus who remain 100% at home while inflicting the capital club's first loss of the season on them. Two red cards add further misery to Rudi Garcia's night. Juve are eight points clear and well on for the three-peat!
89'
Vucinic on the turn comes close to getting a second and Juve's fourth. Roma are doing well to handle things since losing two players, and that's the case as they block and clear their way to safety.
88'
Ljajic caps his night to forget by shovel-footing the set piece well over the bar.
86'
Destro takes on a sea of Juve defenders alone and wins a free-kick from a Barzagli check on the edge of the area. That too is a booking and a one-game ban.
84'
Roma will already lose enough players to suspension thanks to the two reds. This defeat could cost them far more standing in the title race than this six-pointer scenario alone.
83'
Booking for Ljajic and an avoidable one at that as he trips Pogba. He will miss Roma's next game. Benatia gives him a dressing down for being so short-sighted.
82'
Quag introduces himself with a flash low shot which is held well by De Sanctis.
80'
And in their final change, Juve withdraw Llorente to give Fabio Quagliarella a shot at getting on the scoresheet.
79'
Apparently Vucinic specifically asked penalty taker Vidal to let him take this one as a 'pick me up' for what's been a tough season so far. He scored his second of the season with that 12-yarder.
78'
Standing ovation prior to the restart for the excellent Vidal, scorer of the first, as on comes Claudio Marchisio in his place. The Italian was benched today so Pirlo could return to the XI.
77'
GOAL! Vucinic gets his goal against his former employers from the spot with a good low penalty. It's 3-0 Juve, Roma down to nine. Game over. Title race over?
76'
ANOTHER RED CARD FOR ROMA! The free-kick is headed across goal where Vucinic will surely head home the third from a yard out only for Castan to punch it away. Penalty coming up!
75'
RED CARD! De Rossi came in late with both feet up on Chiellini as he got that cross in, and he is straight off and rightly so! Juve have the attacking incentive back too with the free-kick.
74'
Chiellini with a great run to the left-hand byline but his floated cross cannot find Vucinic.
72'
Whistles from the stands as Totti is withdrawn for Alessandro Florenzi.
71'
Pirlo goes for goal from the 20-yarder.... De Sanctis stoops low to save.
70'
That opening goal out of nowhere is definitely the key moment of this one so far. It has allowed Juventus to show their experience in such big situations and absolutely manipulate Roma tactically and emotionally since then.
69'
Vidal holds up possession well just outside the Roma box and invites the foul from Strootman, who is understandably the most frustrated away player on the pitch having been instrumental in his side's early dominance which appears to be for nothing.
68'
Offside flag halts another Roma push. They're trying, at least. Likely to be too late unless Juve lose focus at the back.
