Antonio Conte’s Napoli kept their noses in front at the top of Serie A with a 1-1 draw with champions Inter at San Siro on Sunday. Scott McTominay touched in from front close range to put the visitors ahead but Turkey midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu levelled with a long-distance effort shortly before half time.
Calhanoglu failed to convert a penalty in the second half, his first missed spot kick in 18 attempts for Inter.
Napoli have 26 points from 12 games, one more than Inter and three other teams that are in the chase and all won at the weekend. They are Atalanta, who beat Udinese 2-1 in Bergamo; Fiorentina, who won 3-1 at home against Hellas Verona; and Lazio, who triumphed 1-0 at Monza.
Juventus are one point further back in sixth after beating city rivals Torino 2-0 on Saturday. AC Milan are seventh with 18 points after their shaky form continued with a 3-3 draw at Cagliari.
