TURIN, Italy : Juventus were held to a goalless draw by Napoli in Serie A on Saturday, their third consecutive such score on the domestic front.

Juventus had more possession throughout the game but Napoli came closer to snatching a winner and Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio saved Scott McTominay's attempt from outside the box in the first half, before Romelu Lukaku failed to follow up.

Di Gregorio then leaped to deny winger Matteo Politano from a free kick in first-half stoppage time, diverting the shot with the tips of his fingers.

Napoli are third in the standings on 10 points from five games while Juventus are fourth with nine.
