MILAN — Alessandro Del Piero came off the bench to help Juventus to a 2-0 win over Inter Milan in Serie A on Sunday as Antonio Conte's men kept the pressure on leader AC Milan.

Inter left Martin Caceres completely unmarked to head Juventus into the lead in the 57th minute and Del Piero — who had scored in midweek against AC Milan in the cup — sealed the result in the 70th.

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon pulled off a string of fantastic saves in the first half to keep his side level in the hotly contested match, known as Italy's Derby.

Milan, which beat Roma 2-1 on Saturday, leads second-placed Juventus by four points.

Inter slips to eighth and has now won just one of its past 10 league games.
