Gonzalo Higuain paid back a further chunk of his £78million transfer fee, as he scored twice to hand Juventus a 3-1 win in the Derby della Mole
England keeper Joe Hart produced a number of smart saves but was powerless to stop Torino losing the Derby della Mole against Serie A leaders Juventus.
Visitors, who are bidding for a record sixth successive Scudetto, came from behind to move seven points clear.
Torino had led when top scorer Andrea Belotti thumped in a header from Daniele Baselli's right-wing cross.
But Gonzalo Higuain levelled before the break when he swept Mario Mandzukic's pass into Hart's bottom corner.
The Juventus striker put the visitors ahead with eight minutes left when he spun a defender on the edge of the Torino box before clinically drilling in a low strike.
He was denied a hat-trick by Hart in stoppage time, only for Miralem Pjanic to seal victory by hammering in the rebound at the second attempt.
Juve's advantage will be reduced when second-placed Roma host third placed AC Milan, who are both on 32 points from 15 matches, at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday.
Scorers [ Belotti 16' ] [ Higuain 28', 82', Pjanic 92' ]
