Despite threats from visitors, Torino maintained his lead in the first half to seal his eighth win of the season after Udinese saw two goals canceled and Rodrigo de Paul lost his penalty in the last 45 minutes.
Compatriot William Troost-Ekong was in action for 90 minutes on the losing side and was booked for a tackle on Andrea Belotti in the 85th minute.
The Maroons climbed two places up to eighth in the Serie A standings and travel to Napoli, second, for the championship game on Feb. 17.
