Pablo Barrientos gave Catania the lead in the fourth minute but Andrea Pirlo (22) levelled for the hosts.

A red card for Marco Motta in the 65th minute left Catania with a battle on their hands and it was one they lost as Giorgio Chiellini (74) and Fabio Quagliarella (81) scored to earn Antonio Conte's side all three points.

The win takes unbeaten Juventus two points clear of erstwhile leaders AC Milan, with both sides now having played 23 games.
