Juventus pulled off an away with victory against Catania ad-mist controversies to stand firm at the top of the table, 3 points clear from Napoli. Catania was denied a goal in the first half by the linesman who gave offside to Gonzalo Bergessio’s effort.
Arturo Vidal’s 57th-minute winner helped Juve to continue their winning streak to 48 matches and it got worse for Catania when defender Giovanni Marchese was sent off for a second yellow.
The goal should have also been an offside goal but this time the referee did not notice it and allowed Bendtner to shoot and the rebound was pounced on by Vidal. And to add insult to injury Catania president Antonino Pulvirenti was sent from the bench and a total of 5 Catania players were booked in the game.
