Juventus held by Napoli for third straight league draw

uve held to 3rd straight league draw in goalless stalemate vs. Napoli

Juventus and Napoli both missed the chance to move to the top of Serie A after a goalless draw in Turin.

The scrappy stalemate at the Allianz Stadium meant Torino, 3-2 winners over Hellas Verona on Friday, remained at the summit.

Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay went close just before the half hour for Napoli with a shot from the edge of the box which was saved by Michele di Gregorio.

The Juventus goalkeeper was also called into action again on the stroke of half-time when he tipped away Matteo Politano’s free-kick.

Politano then fired over the crossbar from 18 yards for Antonio Conte’s side early in the second half, while Teun Koopmeiners curled over from a good position for Juve.

Napoli moved up to third place on 10 points – a point behind Torino and one clear of Juve who are fourth after their third successive league draw.

Inter Milan face city rivals AC Milan at San Siro on Sunday (19:45 BST) in the weekend’s big clash in Italy.
