Dusan Vlahovic scored a 95th-minute penalty as Juventus salvaged a 2-2 draw against struggling Venezia, maintaining their unbeaten record in Serie A this season but drawing for the 10th time in 16 games.

Having beaten Manchester City in the Champions League in midweek, Thiago Motta’s Bianconeri took the lead after 19 minutes, the unmarked Federico Gatti tapping home after a corner was flicked on towards the back post.

However, Venezia came roaring back to lead against the run of play. Mikael Egill Ellertsson headed in the equaliser just after the hour mark, then Jay Idzes nodded Hans Nicolussi Caviglia’s free-kick home to stun the Allianz Stadium with seven minutes left.

But Juventus got a huge slice of fortune in stoppage time when the ball struck Antonio Candela’s arm in the Venezia area, allowing Vlahovic to score from the spot.

The Bianconeri’s 10th draw of the campaign – and their fourth in a row – leaves them sixth in Serie A with 28 points, nine points behind leaders Atalanta. Venezia remain bottom with 10 points.
