Juventus snatched a dramatic 4-3 win at home to Inter Milan on Saturday, with Vasilije Adzic netting a stunning added-time winner to send the host upto second in the Serie A standings and condemn the visitor to a second successive defeat.
The home side twice took the lead, but Hakan Calhanoglu pulled Inter level on both occasions. The Thuram brothers looked to have decided the game with Marcus putting Inter ahead and Kephren equalising before Adzic struck late for Juventus.
Juventus is on nine points, level with leader Napoli and ahead of Cremonese and AS Roma, who all have a game in hand. Inter remains on three points.
Inter was looking to bounce back from a 2-1 home loss to Udinese last time out but fell behind in the 14th minute.
Manuel Locatelli floated a cross towards the back post, where Gleison Bremer volleyed it back across the box and Lloyd Kelly steered his shot into the bottom corner.
Inter equalised on the half-hour mark when Carlos Augusto’s pass found Calhanoglu, whose first-time effort sailed past Juve keeper Michele Di Gregorio.
Juventus was back in front eight minutes later, Bremer again the provider. Kenan Yildiz gathered the defender’s pass with his back to goal, turned and found space for a powerful shot which keeper Yann Sommer got a hand to but could not keep out.

Inter had Juventus pinned back in its own half for long periods after the break, but the visitor struggled to create any clear-cut chances until Calhanoglu levelled in the 65th minute.
After a game of head tennis between the sides in the Juventus box, Piotr Zielinski nodded back to Calhanoglu, who controlled the ball on his chest before letting fly from the edge of the area with a sumptuous strike into the far corner.
Inter continued to press, and 11 minutes later, Marcus Thuram rose unchallenged to power a header from a corner beyond the keeper to put the visitors ahead for the first time, but with their father, ex-Juventus player Lilian Thuram, watching on, Kephren responded.
Yildiz sent a free kick into the box, and Thuram powered a header past Sommer with eight minutes remaining, but the Derby d’Italia was not done yet.
Substitute Adzic gathered a pass from Jonathan David, took one touch before unleashing an unstoppable screamer from distance to maintain Juve’s perfect start to the season.
