18-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma has been solid in goal for Milan this season, and has single-handedly secured points for the Rossoneri on a few occasions. His eight saves on the night – as opposed to only one for his namesake in the opposite goal – almost did so again, only for Juve to pick up all three points via a penalty that was literally the last kick of the game.

It was all the young ‘keeper could do to keep out the misfiring home side, but his luck finally ran out – and Juve’s extended – with the penalty from Dybala beyond his reach in the 95^th minute of the game. This extended the sensational record of consecutive home league wins to 31 at the Juventus stadium – a big reason why they have been Serie A champions four seasons in a row now.
