00:00...opted for the experience of Antonio Candreva in preference to Jan Karamo.
00:06Mauro Icardi, the main man of kills, and looking to make it the goal in each of his last three
00:10matches.
00:11Now some real eye-opening changes for Juve there.
00:14Max Allegri has changed his entire back four from the one that started against Napoli.
00:21...Dep center.
00:23Mandzukic was there, and Inter were in trouble.
00:28Well, it's a defense. Cancelo just left it completely. It's a high, loopy one.
00:32Maybe they thought the goalkeeper, Handanovic, was going to come out and claim it, but it didn't.
00:36There's two players there. I do think tonight as well, certainly Cancelo against Mandzukic is a mismatch.
00:42So balls to that far post.
00:44...pick out.
00:47It's alarming, if you're an Inter fan, just how easily he was able to get that header in a moment
00:52or two ago.
00:54...Quadrado.
00:57Dinked ball from him.
01:00Oh, and a goal for Juve.
01:02Douglas Costa, whose influence on this Juve team has been growing and growing in 2018,
01:10has just scored a very big goal for them.
01:14And once again, Tony, Inter just switched off.
01:18Well, the right-back area at the back post is absolutely shocking.
01:21You're right, the ball is fed out yet again to this left-hand side.
01:24Just way too easy.
01:25Candreva there.
01:27So he gets pushed off, but how can the ball travel through, then bounce between a load of Inter players
01:32as well?
01:32Only is poor defending.
01:34What you have to, though, admire certainly is the finish from Douglas Costa.
01:37But it's bouncing, but controls are perfectly, takes a little deflection as well.
01:42But Handanovic, always difficult for him going back across.
01:45Really good finish.
01:47...attack once again.
01:52And, of course, it all stemmed, really, from that Mandzukic header a moment or two earlier.
01:59He's the player on the deck here as Inter have got themselves in to bother again.
02:04Vecino, the guilty man.
02:08Well, that certainly was a poor challenge, but you're right, I think Juventus, yes, they have started quickly enough,
02:13but it's more to do with Inter falling asleep, certainly at the back.
02:16And that's a nasty one, isn't it?
02:18No doubt Mandzukic is going for the ball.
02:23This is a stay of execution for Matthias Vecino.
02:29It's his first start since fifth match.
02:34Oh, is he in trouble here?
02:35Yeah, I think this is going to be a red card, isn't it?
02:42Inter in big trouble.
02:44They're down to ten.
02:46Matthias Vecino has to go for his challenge on Mandzukic.
02:50Initially, double the punishment here.
02:55Over the wall and over the crossbar.
02:57Mandira very nearly got onto it.
02:59Mandzukic.
03:01Higuain.
03:03A little bit easy at the moment, this, for Juventus, whose confidence is returning.
03:08Costa.
03:10That one never really threatened the goal, but there's only one team in there.
03:13He needs to have a wandering brief at the moment.
03:16Popped up everywhere.
03:18Here he is again.
03:22He's for goal.
03:23Not the worst effort either.
03:26Poufón was scampering across his six-yard box.
03:30I don't know if he was going to get there.
03:32Well, it's only a fantastic strike, isn't it?
03:37Inter have got a corner out of it.
03:40Juve have been very vulnerable at set pieces recently.
03:44And they look to...
03:54Costa's fall in.
03:56Dangerous delivery, that.
03:57There's Mandzukic.
03:59Khadira to Higuain.
04:00Was he knocked over?
04:01He didn't need the penalty because it's a second goal.
04:04Scored by Matuidi.
04:07Inter surround the referee immediately.
04:11Matuidi's not waiting.
04:13Put the video up, and Matuidi is convinced that it will stand.
04:20Certainly, I don't quite see why not,
04:23because it was a scuffed shot, certainly, from Mandzukic.
04:26As the ball eventually falls down,
04:28it's the on-running midfielder,
04:30who yet again has done himself inside the box.
04:34Was he coming back from an offside position?
04:36Is that what Icardi now is asking Osato?
04:39Here we see.
04:40You can see where Matuidi is.
04:43There's no doubt he is offside,
04:46so this may not be given.
04:52We're already in the...
04:55Well, it was the right decision, as you say, Tony.
04:57It's, uh, the second Juve goal chalked off.
05:06So far, so good for Juventus.
05:09Word for Buffon.
05:13His halo has slipped in the last few weeks, I think it's fair to say.
05:23Here's the Inter 3-0.
05:25Good delivery.
05:27And an equaliser.
05:28And, of course, it's Icardi.
05:30He always scores against Juventus.
05:33And he's done it again.
05:36But ten men are level.
05:39And the Napoli fans will be celebrating just as loudly as the Inter ones are here.
05:47It's a set-piece again, Tony.
05:49It certainly is.
05:50Juventus, well, they've been asleep since half-time.
05:52They've been really poor.
05:53And Inter, on the front court, they've been given some encouragement.
05:56And what you have to do, of course, is give this man a chance inside that box.
06:00He doesn't need many.
06:01He hasn't had any tonight.
06:03Well, this is his first one.
06:04And look where it ends up.
06:05Bottom corner.
06:06Brilliantly timed run.
06:08Perfect header, Buffon.
06:09Absolutely no chance.
06:10Hard and low into the corner.
06:11From what you have to say is a brilliant ball in from Mancancello.
06:1627th league goal of the campaign for Mauro Riccardi.
06:22Ability to change any game.
06:27Now, here's another one.
06:28Higuain is in the clear.
06:30He's around the goalkeeper.
06:31But it's wide.
06:41Brozovic.
06:45Perisic now.
06:46Only Icardi in the middle.
06:50Perisic tricks his way into the box.
06:53And it's in the back of the net.
06:54And on goal.
06:55Gives the ten men of Inter the lead.
07:00It's all unraveling for Juventus.
07:04How have they managed to turn a 1-0 lead against ten men into a 2-1 deficit?
07:12Only they will know.
07:14Barzali scoring the own goal.
07:16And Inter lead 2-1.
07:18Brilliant players.
07:18Then from Perisic.
07:20His quadrado all ends up.
07:23Barzali.
07:23Well, the ball flashes to him.
07:25He sees it very, very late.
07:26Can't even get out of the way of it.
07:28All he can do is guide it fast.
07:30Buffon into his own net.
07:31And we talked about Quadrado, didn't we, in the right-back position?
07:35Well, he's beaten here by Croatian international Perisic.
07:39Great ball across.
07:40Hard and low.
07:41It's a bit of luck.
07:42But they deserved it.
07:43Juventus has been absolutely awful this second half.
07:45And Inter, superb.
07:48What on earth?
07:50It's been well enough initially, but...
07:52Who knows what went on in that dressing room at half-time?
07:55Now, here's Kosta.
07:56Bernadeschi at the bottom of your picture, furthest forward.
07:59Dybala up there, too.
08:01Only going to be a corner.
08:04Almost linked in, didn't it?
08:05Had a near...
08:13Dybala's effort.
08:14Oh, what an effort, and what a good save.
08:18And Danovic...
08:20Turning it away when it was headed for the top corner.
08:23Yes, she does even better, because Danovic's first move...
08:26His ability to carry the ball is going to be so important.
08:29Likewise, this man, Candreva.
08:33Got a take on two here, Antonio Candreva.
08:36Got the cross in, and Icardi was close to finish.
08:45Rugani.
08:49Kosta, who's opening goal feels a long time ago now.
08:53It's cross-repelled.
08:55But only half-cleared.
08:59Quadrado.
09:01Dybala trying to wriggle through.
09:02Quadrado is there for Juventus.
09:04Deflection.
09:05It's in.
09:062-2.
09:07An element of good fortune about the goal.
09:11Juve back on terms.
09:13And still with time to win it yet.
09:17The story of this year's title race has just taken another twist.
09:22What a scudetto we are watching this season.
09:25Well, Santon's come on, and he just hasn't got up to the pace of the game at all.
09:28But Quadrado, what about this?
09:30Dybala with a fancy footwork.
09:33Santon, you thought at one point was going to bring him down.
09:35Instead, somehow, how can the ball get deflected past Handanovic?
09:41And ends up in the back of the net, because it comes off Skrinyar.
09:43Keeper's not expecting it.
09:45And in it goes.
09:46No card.
09:49He is now.
09:5390 seconds left in normal time here.
09:58He would not put it past Juventus to win this.
10:02And they have won it.
10:04Higuain with the goal.
10:0630 seconds to go.
10:12And Juventus lead 3-2.
10:15Having put their fans through the ringer tonight.
10:21Max Allegri's side, somehow, are heading for victory.
10:29Napoli supporters everywhere will have their heads in their hands.
10:33So will those of Inter.
10:38Higuain perfectly placed, Tony.
10:40Absolutely.
10:41Dybala with a quality ball in.
10:42But this game is absolutely crazy.
10:45Bit of quality.
10:46He's in the six-yard box.
10:47And Handanovic absolutely no chance.
10:49But he gets in between defenders.
10:50Santon again is the one that is trying to mark him.
10:53Well, he's come on and had an absolute nightmare.
10:55He's involved in both goals.
10:57Got no...
10:58And Jan Karamo will finish the game.
11:01It's unfortunate.
11:02It's a start tonight, really.
11:03It's done well for Inter in 2018.
11:08Now, Brozovic.
11:10Buffon couldn't hold it.
11:12Miranda then turned it goalwards.
11:15In the Juve comeback.
11:22Oh, chance here.
11:24Oh, what an opportunity for Perisic.
11:26A stolen, unmarked.
11:29But couldn't hit the target.
11:31It's a brilliant ball as well.
11:32To the back post.
11:33And Perisic, well,
11:34should have just guided it back across.
11:37Gigi Buffon.
11:38Instead, he's trying to go near post.
11:39And Cardi, absolutely desolate.
11:41Of course, when he came off,
11:42he thought he'd score the winner.
11:46Chiellini's still playing.
11:47Cheerleader down on the touchline.
11:49I don't think they've done enough, Juve.
11:51Questions were being asked of them.
11:53The pressure was all on the old lady.
11:56They were running out of time.
11:59But Juventus have responded with the win
12:02they so desperately needed.
