Bianconeri goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny first gifted the home side the lead when he failed to make a routine save on a shot from Armand Laurienté in the 13th minute.
Another mistake from Szczesny gave Sassuolo a 3-2 lead in the 82nd and Juventus then added a comical own goal in injury time.
Szczesny left his goal to take a free kick near the corner flag, passing the ball across the pitch to Gatti as Juventus tried to launch a final attack in search of an equaliser.
However, the defender came under quick pressure and passed the ball back toward the goal - seemingly forgetting that his goalkeeper was not there - and it bobbled into the empty net.
It was Juve’s first loss of the fledgling campaign after three wins and a draw.
