Leonardo Bonucci's 86th minute stunner saw Juventus snatch a thrilling victory as they beat Roma 3-2 in a contest that also saw Alvaro Morata and Konstantinos Manolas sent off late on. A top-of-the-table clash between two teams boasting five league wins from five promised much and there was certainly no shortage of drama at Juventus Stadium on Sunday, with referee Gianluca Rocchi awarding three penalties - two to Juve and one to Roma - in a first half that ended 2-2. It appeared as though both teams would have to settle for a point apiece, but Bonucci then found the net in magnificent fashion with four minutes of normal time remaining, volleying past Lukasz Skorupski from 20 yards to break Roma hearts. Juve substitute Morata and Roma defender Manolas were dismissed in the closing stages as Rocchi once again found himself at the centre of the action, but the reigning champions were able to hold on and claim a fifth successive home win against the capital club.
