| Amauri 48 |
Juventus won its first league victory in more than a month after beating city rivals Torino 1-0 in the 224th Turin derby at the Stadio Olimpico.
Juve coach Claudio Ranieri was under pressure following a defeat to Napoli last weekend, but after won two games in five days - including a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday - his position became a little safer.
Brazilian striker Amauri scored the only goal of the match after 48 minutes as he drilled a low shot past goalkeeper Alex Calderoni.
It was Amauri's third goal in a week and his fifth of the season.
With 12 points, Juventus moved into the top 10 of Serie A.
In the earlier match, high-flying Catania move up to second in the Serie A table, behind leaders Inter Milan, as they drew 1-1 at Siena.
Siena took a deserved lead when second-half substitute Emanuele Calaio headed in a cross from Cristiano Del Grosso with just 15 minutes remaining.
But the celebrations did not last long as Catania was awarded a penalty just five minutes later after Michele Paolucci was brought down by Gianluca Curci.
Giuseppe Mascara put away the resulting penalty, sending Curci the wrong way.
