Paul Pogba headed a last-minute winner to extend Juventus' lead at the top of the Serie A table with a 2-1 victory over Bologna.
Bologna battled bravely and looked like they might grab a point when Saphir Taider cancelled out Fabio Quagliarella's opener with 16 minutes left.

Inter Milan moved up to second with a 3-2 victory over nine-man Sampdoria at the San Siro.
The hosts trailed 1-0 at half-time, but came back strongly after the break as their opponents lost their discipline.
Gianni Munari put Samp in front in the 20th minute, but the game turned early in the second half when Andrea Costa was sent off for a foul on Diego Milito in the area and the Argentinian levelled from the spot.
Rodrigo Palacio made it 2-1 in the 69th minute and Fredy Guarin added a third nine minutes from time.
Samp then had coach Ciro Ferrara sent to the stands and substitute goalkeeper Tommaso Berni was also shown a red card, both for dissent.
The visitors still managed to pull one back in the last minute through Citadin Eder, but it was too little too late.
Veteran Udinese striker Antonio Di Natale scored an injury-time equaliser to deny Catania their first league away win of the season as the teams drew 2-2.
Di Natale opened the scoring after 29 minutes, but Catania stormed ahead with only minutes remaining when Francesco Lodi fired in a free-kick after Lucas Castro had earlier benefited from some poor defending.
But Di Natale popped up moments from the end as he thrashed into an unguarded net after the Catania defence left him unmarked to make it 2-2.
Parma<.B< came from behind to win 3-2 against Roma and leapfrog their opponents in the Serie A table.

Belfodil saw red with seven minutes remaining but his team-mates were able to hang on for the win and go above Roma and into sixth place.
Stefano Mauri rescued a point for Lazio as they laboured to a 1-1 draw against visiting Torino at Stadio Olimpico.

The result takes the Biancocelesti's winless run to three games in all competitions, while Torino have drawn three of their last four matches.
Ivo Pulga guided Cagliari to a fourth consecutive Serie A victory with a 4-2 win over bottom side Siena, who had Luis Neto sent off.
