Juventus has equalled the best ever start after 15 games of a season in Europe's top-five leagues following a narrow Derby d'Italia win against Inter Milan.
Mario Mandzukic's second-half header earned a 1-0 home win against the Nerazzurri on Friday, moving Juve 11 points clear of Napoli as it seeks an eighth straight Serie A title. And having collected 43 points from its opening 15 games, Juve levelled the record set by Ligue 1 champion Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month.
