But that was far from the end of the drama, and there was still   time for Ronaldo to fire a sluggish Juve to victory, as the striker   himself won the decisive penalty following a coming-together with   substitute Antonio Sanabria - VAR this time going in his favour after   the spot-kick was checked by the officials.Juve coach Maurizio Sarri had said in the build-up that his side were   suffering a "mental issue" in front of goal and they barely threatened   in a tame first 30 minutes against a team with the worst defensive   record in the league.A stunning save from Ionut Radu eventually  denied Paulo Dybala the  opener and that chance finally woke Juventus up  from their slumber, as  Bonucci soon broke the deadlock.The  defender was aided by Radu's decision to come off his line in an  attempt  to collect Rodrigo Bentancur's corner, the goalkeeper beaten to  the  ball by Bonucci, who simply nodded into an empty net.Parity was  restored within five minutes, though, thanks to Kouame's slice of  accidental glory.Aiming  at goal with his right foot, the Ivorian managed to kick the  ball into  his trailing leg, the deflection subsequently wrong-footing  Juventus  goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon in his 513rd league appearance for  the  Italian giants, which saw him equal Alessandro del Piero's club  record.Juve  ramped up the pressure after Cassata's 52nd-minute dismissal - for  a  second yellow card - and Federico Bernardeschi then forced an  excellent  save from Radu with an effort from distance, before Ronaldo  tested the  shot-stopper from a corner.Home substitute Douglas Costa fizzed a  long-range effort agonisingly  wide before Rabiot was given his marching  orders - a foul on Sinan  Gumus earning him a second yellow - but the  hosts still found a way in  the dying stages to claim the points, thanks  to a spell of VAR-heavy  drama.Initially, Ronaldo scored and  celebrated before his goal was disallowed  for offside, but then a  debatable penalty followed and the Portuguese  star stepped up to thump  it home and send Juventus back to the top of  the Serie A table.</blockquote>
