teams after Gonzalo Higuain's late strike salvaged
a 1-1 draw for Juventus in their derby against
Torino.
Adem Ljajic's pinpoint free-kick looked set to
secure a famous win for Torino at Juventus
Stadium but, after Afriyie Acquah and the visitors'
head coach Sinisa Mihajlovic had received their
marching orders, Higuain salvaged a share of the
spoils for Juve in second-half stoppage time.
Juve coach Allegri, whose side take on Monaco in
the second leg of their Champions League semi-
final on Tuesday, was in upbeat mood after the
game but acknowledged his side lacked
composure in their attacking play.
"I would say we should congratulate the two
teams, it was a great game," he told Mediaset
Premium.
"Juventus have created a lot. We were a bit frantic,
we needed more patience.
"We're all happy. They all played well, more or
less. We must be calm in attack but today we must
not blame anyone.
"Torino played well and were very physical. It was
one of the games of the season, it was frantic from
the start."
The point takes Juve eight clear of second-placed
Napoli, and Allegri's side can seal a sixth
successive Scudetto with victory at Roma next
time out in Serie A.
"It's a point that brings us closer to the
championship," Allegri, whose side also have the
Coppa Italia final to look forward to, continued.
"Now, we recover. We have to win against a
Monaco team with great talent and quality."
