Juventus 2 AC Milan 1: Paulo Dybala scores last-minute penalty after Carlos Bacca brought the away side level before half time

PAULO DYBALA remained composed to put away a penalty in the final few seconds as Juventus took all three points against AC Milan in Serie A.

Medhi Benatia handed Juve the lead after good build up play saw Dani Alves lift the ball over the defence for the Morroco international to fire home on the half-hour mark.

But AC Milan hit back two-minutes before the break when Gerard Deulofeu burst forward to slip in Bacca, who nutmegged Gianluigi Buffon.

It looked as though Juve were about to settle for their second successive draw, but a very late penalty was given against Mattia De Sciglio.

Argentine striker Dybala kept his nerve to slot the penalty past teenage goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma who had pulled off a series of stunning saves to keep Milan in the game.

The three points also allowed Juventus to look ahead to their Champions League last 16 return against Porto, who they lead 2-0, next week.

Juventus suffered a setback in the warm-up when Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic was struck down with illness.

But the champions were soon into their stride and deservedly took the lead on the half-hour mark when Moroccan centre-back Benatia was picked out by a Dani Alves cross over the top of the defence.

Benatia chested down the pass and drove the ball beyond the despairing dive of 18-year-old ‘keeper Donnarumma.

But Juve were put on the back foot just before the break when Spanish winger Gerard Deulofeu danced down the flanks to set up Colombian international Bacca for the equaliser.

Donnarumma then kept Milan in touch with saves from Miralem Pjanic, Sami Khedira and Gonzalo Higuain but he was left shattered by the last-minute drama.

Milan stay in seventh place, 20 points behind Juventus and seven off the final Champions League qualifying place.
