Dušan Vlahović should have doubled Juve's lead but had his penalty saved after Youssef Maleh brought down Federico Gatti in the area.
The visitors remained on top after the interval, and Paul Pogba, who has struggled to make an impact since returning to Turin from Manchester United, appeared to have doubled his side’s advantage only for it to be ruled out for offside.
Juve put the victory beyond doubt when Federico Chiesa latched on to Arkadiusz Milik’s through ball, rounded the keeper before firing home.
