Veteran striker Francesco Totti scored a stunning long-range goal just before the hour mark to sink the Serie A leaders 1-0 at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
The Roma captain ran on to a clearance before smashing the ball past Italy goalkeeper Gianliugi Buffon to leave Juve on 55 points, five ahead of Napoli who host Sampdoria today.
Last night’s win takes Roma up to seventh place on 37 points from 25 games after their first league win this year.
Totti has now scored 224 Serie A goals, one fewer than the all-time top scorer Gunnar Nordahl, and his strike capped a superb second-half display by Roma, who could have scored more.
Roma’s Daniele De Rossi missed the easiest chance of the night six minutes after they took the lead, completely missing the ball on the edge of the six-yard box.
Juve, who defeated Celtic 3-0 in Glasgow on Tuesday in a last-16 first leg tie, could now find themselves only two points clear at the top if Napoli beat Sampdoria.
