Midway through the second half Juventus had serious shouts for a penalty turned down after Milan’s goal scorer, Bacca, played the ball on to his outstretched hand which was certainly extended away from the body in an unnatural position. The referee waved away the claims, and Juve continued to toil fruitlessly in front of Milan’s goal until the end of regulation time.

In stoppage time, with the visitors down to 10-men after Suso received his marching orders for a second yellow, the home supporters saw their glum moods uplifted with a penalty awarded for a hand ball spotted from point blank range by the official behind the goal line.

Dybala stepped up to give the home side the win, and as the players took a lap around the stadium to acknowledge their fans, Allegri possibly did the same to the luck that continues to hold his side in good stead at their home stadium.
