Pogba ensures Turins’ march atop in Serie A, Inter win

Update: 2012-11-02 01:58 GMT
Former Manchester United forward Paul Pogba struck in injury time to hand Juventus a 2-1 win over Bologna as the champions opened up a six-point gap on Napoli.

Juventus looked set for a share of the points until Pogba got his head to a superb cross from the left from Sebastian Giovinco to beat Federico Agliardi from close range in the dying seconds.

Pogba had the ball in the net earlier in the game only to be ruled offside and he then hit the post with an exquisite shot on 16 minutes.

Juve finally broke the deadlock in the 54th minute through Fabio Quagliarella, but were brought level when French midfielder Saphir Taider latched on to a cross 15 metres out and beat a diving Gianluigi Buffon with a dipping angled drive.

The Turin-based giants’ ninth win in 10 games extended their unbeaten run to 49 games and stretched their lead over Napoli to six points after Walter Mazzarri’s side suffered a shock 1-0 defeat away to Atalanta.

Elsewhere, Inter Milan moved into second - four points adrift of Juve - with a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Sampdoria while Roma suffered a shock 3-2 defeat away to Parma and Lazio had to settle for a draw at home to Torino.
