England youth international Iling-Junior netted 55 minutes into his first start in Italy’s top flight before Vlahovic finished the job deep in stoppage time.
He then goaded a section of the home supporters after being targetted with racist chants, earning himself a booking for his troubles.
Juve are two points ahead of Lazio who were beaten at AC Milan on Saturday and, as things stand, have a good chance of making the Champions League next season.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side are five points in front of fifth-placed Milan but their hopes of qualifying for Europe’s top club competition depend on an Italian Football Federation (FIGC) ruling on alleged illicit transfer activity.
