Juventus' derby win comes at the cost of Higuain injury

Juventus’ Gonzalo Higuain goes down after sustaining an injury.

Juventus’ 1-0 derby win over Torino came at a cost with prized striker Gonzalo Higuain limping off with an apparent injury to the left ankle on Sunday.

After staying on for another 10 minutes, Higuain exited and was replaced by Federico Bernardeschi.

Less than 20 minutes later, Bernardeschi set up Alex Sandro’s goal, dribbling past a defender then providing the cross for Sandro to tap in from close range.

It was Juventus’ ninth straight win and it moved the Bianconeri two points ahead of Napoli at the top of the standings. Napoli host relegation-threatened Spal later.
