Torino came from behind to claim a deserved point against their city rivals Juventus in the latest instalment of the famed Derby della Mole fixture. Juventus are nowhere near looking like a title contender after dropping two more points at home against the team they’ve been beating easily over the past decade. But tonight, it’s the Bulls who looked like the team more likely to win.Granata will be chuffed to come from behind to secure a point against their neighbour, especially given they came into the match with only one win in the last 31 meetings with the Bianconeri.pic.twitter.com/IdHIcNMPZ7— Follow @CroatianScout2 (@CROScoutVids4) February 18, 2022 It’s one of the most ill-balanced rivalries in Italy. Torino haven’t tasted victory against their city rivals Juve since 2015. But tonight they really gave it a good go and arguably deserved the points after putting the Bianconeri under severe pressure for long spells of the match.A poor reaction in defence allowed Dutch defender Matthis de Ligt to score a close-range downward header and give Juve the lead. But despite boasting many more big stars, the home side never got comfortable against their underdog neighbours. Striker Dusan Vlahovic had his quietest match since his much-publicised transfer from Fiorentina. But tonight he simply never got going and was hauled off at the hour mark.Juventus drop two important points in the Derby della Mole 😵 pic.twitter.com/c2POyAH6IK— 433 (@433) February 18, 2022 Torino got their well-deserved equalizer through their talisman striker Andrea Belotti, who was making his first start in several months.
