Buffon sets new clean sheet record before Torino strike

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon set a new Serie A record of 973 minutes without conceding a goal before finally being beaten in Sunday's city derby away to Torino.

Last week Buffon kept a clean sheet for the 10th successive league game to take his unbeaten tally to 926 minutes, surpassing Dino Zoff's club record of 903 minutes and closing in on the Serie A record of 929 minutes set by AC Milan 'keeper Sebastiano Rossi in 1994.

Buffon needed to stay unbeaten for just four minutes against Torino to take the record from Rossi, which he did before eventually being beaten in the third minute of the second half.

Juventus were leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Paul Pogba and Sami Khedira when Torino earned a penalty and Andrea Belotti stepped up to score.
