Lazio dominated the first hour and scored a goal against Emre Can in the 59th minute, before Joao Cancelo tied for Juve in the 74th minute, four minutes after his replacement.
The Portuguese also won the penalty that allowed his compatriot Ronaldo, who missed the return leg against Chievo in his last match, to score his 15th league goal of the season.
Juventus, aiming for an eighth consecutive title, has 59 points out of a total of 59 while Napoli, second, ranks 48th after his 0-0 draw at AC Milan on Saturday.

Lazio are seventh after continuing their bad run against the so-called big teams of Serie A: Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, AS Roma and Napoli. They have taken only one point in seven games this season against teams in this group.
Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny fended off a shot by Luis Alberto and neutralized Marco Parolo with a remarkable save. The visitors, Daniele Rugani, cleared a lob of Ciro Immobile while Lazio dominated the first period.
The hosts took the advantage when Luis Alberto entered the heart of Juve and the unfortunate German midfielder Can sank to put the ball in the net.
Shortly after, Immobile shot the bar after being released and this was a turning point.

Juve had offered little threat until Paulo Dybala's low shot was countered by Thomas Strakosha and Cancelo brought the rebound back home.
As time ran out, Federico Bernardeschi of Juve sent a low ball into the box and Cancelo collapsed when Senad Lulic came into contact with his arm during a fast-moving incident.
After desperate protests from Lazio, Ronaldo inflicted a penalty over the head to win.
