Juventus missed the chance to take a big step toward a ninth successive Serie A title, letting a comfortable lead slip after Adrien Rabiot scored one of the goals of the season.
Lazio lost 1 - 2 to Lecce.
A tight first half finished scoreless after Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a goal ruled out for offside shortly before the break.
Adrien Rabiot broke the deadlock two minutes after the restart with a phenomenal individual effort.
Cristiano Ronaldo doubled Juve's lead six minutes later after he latched onto a sumptuous through-ball by Juan Cuadrado.

First Ibrahimovic converted a penalty in the 62nd minute following a handball from Leonardo Bonucci.
Then came quickfire goals from Franck Kessie and substitute Rafael Leao to complete a remarkable turnaround.
Milan extended their advantage 10 minutes from full time when Giacomo Bonaventura capitalised on an error from Juventus defender Alex Sandro to set up Ante Rebic.
