Adrien Rabiot's second-half goal earned Juventus a 1-0 home win against Roma on Saturday as they moved within two points of Serie A leaders Inter Milan.

Rabiot latched onto a flick from Dusan Vlahovic inside the box and calmly slotted home.

Juve finish the year in second place with 43 points from 18 games behind Inter, who drew 1-1 at Genoa on Friday, while Jose Mourinho's Roma are seventh.

Third-placed AC Milan beat Sassuolo 1-0 earlier in the day.

Federico Chiesa thought he had extended Juve's lead just before the final whistle, receiving a deflected ball inside the box and turning it in, but was flagged offside.
