In doing so, he became the first player to score at least 50 goals in three of the top-five leagues in Europe - 66 in the Bundesliga, 50 in the Premier League and 50 in Serie A. It became a rout when Perotti fired home six minutes later, taking full advantage of a poor clearance by Mario Rui, although Dries Mertens made the score more respectable in stoppage time, finding the net with a low drive from outside the area. Lazio had the better of their game against Juve until the titleholder, in typical style, snatched all three points at the death with their third shot on target. Surrounded by three defenders, Dybala collected the ball outside the Lazio area with his back to goal, turned and flicked the ball through an opponent's legs, fell under a challenge from another and still managed to fire past Thomas Strakosha from on the ground. Juve kept a clean sheet for the seventh consecutive time in the league and the only team to have scored against them in any competition this year are Tottenham Hotspur, who host the Turin side Wednesday in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. The defeat completed a tough week for Lazio who lost their Coppa Italia semi-final on penalties to AC Milan Wednesday.Not bad @PauDybala_JR - last-gasp goal to give Juventus victory at Lazio: ?
