Juan Cabal forced Mario Gila into an own goal to give Juventus a 1-0 win over a reduced-to-ten Lazio side, but the Bianconeri didn't have a shot on target until the 81st minute.

Juventus kept another clean sheet in Serie A but needed a late own goal from Lazio defender Gila to beat the Biancocelesti, who had been reduced to 10 players for over an hour.

Alessio Romagnoli was sent off in the 24th minute for a foul on Pierre Kalulu, one of Juventus' best players tonight alongside Cabal.

Player Ratings: Juventus 1-0 Lazio – Cabal, Kalulu and not much else

The Colombia international was crucial when Mario Gila's cross from the left was turned into the Lazio goal.

The Biancocelesti inevitably played a defensive game, but Juventus' first shot on goal came in the 81st minute with an attempt from outside the penalty area by Dusan Vlahovic.

The Serbia international had hit the crossbar just a few minutes earlier, but technically that doesn't count as a shot on goal.

Players like Mattia Zaccagni and Taty Castellanos particularly helped Lazio's defenders, while Boulaye Dia was substituted after Romagnoli's red card to make room for another centre-back.

Juventus vs Lazio – Player Ratings

Juventus: Di Gregorio 6; Savona 5.5 (54′ Weah 6), Gatti 6 (72′ Danilo 6), Kalulu 6.5, Cabal 6.5; Locatelli 5.5 (54′ Fagioli 6), Thuram 6 (72′ Adzic 6); Cambiaso 6, Douglas Luiz 6, Yildiz 5.5; Vlahovic 6. Coach: Thiago Motta 6.

Best Juventus player: Cabal 6.5 – He started for the first time in over a month and after spending six straight games on the bench. His pass, deflected by Gila, gave Juventus three important points.

Lowest Juventus Rating: Yildiz 5.5 – Same rating as Savona and Locatelli, but the Turkish international had more responsibility in helping Juventus hurt their opponents. No key passes, 81% accuracy. Lost the ball eleven times. He looked exhausted.

Coach: Thiago Motta 6 – The best result with minimal effort. Juventus had two chances through Vlahovic and one through Douglas Luiz before Gila's goal. However, they still find it difficult to consistently create scoring chances against teams that are far behind.

Lazio: Provedel 6.5; Marusic 6, Gila 5, Romagnoli 4.5, Tavares 6.5 (78′ Pellegrini 6); Guendouzi 5.5 (67′ Vecino 6), Rovella 6; Isaksen 6 (67′ Pedro 6), Dia 6 (27′ Patric 6), Zaccagni 5.5 (67′ Castrovilli 6); Castellanos 6. Coach: Baroni 6.

Best Lazio player: Provedel 6.5 – Frustrated Vlahovics and Fagioli's attempts from outside the penalty area in the second half. He would have blocked Cabal's pass too if it weren't for Gila…

Lowest Lazio rating: Romagnoli 4.5 – Gila did score the late own goal, but Lazio's entire performance was ruined by that red card.

Lazio coach: Baroni 6 – Lazio didn't suffer much despite being at a numerical disadvantage for over an hour. A well-organized team that couldn't show its quality tonight.
