Here's a reminder that Andrea Pirlo isn't the only player on Juventus' squad capable of delivering a phenomenal free kick.

Following a scoreless and uneventful first half, Monday's fixture between the two top sides in Serie A took a turn for the dramatic just after the hour mark, when Roma defender Vasilis Torosidis earned a second yellow card for clipping Arturo Vidal just outside the box.

With Pirlo sidelined by a calf injury sustained in last week's Champions League action, Juventus turned to Carlos Tevez for the set piece. The Argentine No. 10 came through with a phenomenal free kick that left 'keeper Morgan De Sanctis completely flat-footed.
