The 2-1 victory moved Juventus 11 points clear of 2nd-placed Napoli, which was held to a 0-0 draw at AC Milan on Saturday.
Cristiano Ronaldo bounced back from a difficult week by scoring a decisive penalty to help Juventus complete a 2-1 comeback win at Lazio on Sunday. Juventus was overwhelmed for more than an hour at the Stadio Olimpico but two late goals enabled the Serie A leader to avoid its first loss of the season.
Ronaldo confidently struck his spot kick into the roof of the net 3 minutes from time – a week after he had a penalty saved during a win over Chievo Verona.
Also this week, Ronaldo pleaded guilty to tax fraud in Spain – adding to his off-field difficulties following an accusation of rape in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009. Ronaldo has denied any wrongdoing.
Lazio went ahead near the hour mark when Emre Can scored an own-goal.
