Juventus took a giant step towards their eighth successive Scudetto after defeating second-placed Napoli 2-1 at Stadio San Paolo on Sunday.
Massimiliano Allegri‘s men are now 16 points clear at the top of Serie A with just 12 games remaining.
Napoli‘s chances of victory were dented early on as Alex Meret saw a red card for a challenge on Cristiano Ronaldo following a poor backpass from Kevin Malcuit.
Miralem Pjanic added insult to injury by perfectly dispatching the resulting free-kick.
The Old Lady‘s lead was doubled from another set-piece as Federico Bernardeschi‘s cross found Emre Can who headed home seven minutes before the half-time interval.
Carlo Ancelotti‘s side were given some hope at the start of the second half when Pjanic was handed a straight red card.
Jose Callejon then reduced the deficit for Napoli on the hour-mark, sparking hope of a miraculous comeback.
On 84 minutes, Napoli were handed their golden opportunity, with a foul inside the box committed on Fabian Ruiz.
Up stepped Lorenzo Insigne, whose strike crashed off the post, all but handing Juventus yet another league title.
