TURIN: Juventus were held to a goalless draw by Napoli in Serie A on Saturday, their third consecutive match to end scoreless on the domestic front. Juve are the only side yet to concede a goal in Europe’s top five leagues but they now also remain goalless since the start of September in their domestic campaign. Thiago Motta’s side were previously held to 0-0 draws against AS Roma and Empoli before they got their Champions League campaign under way with a 3-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday. Juventus are fourth with nine points, one point behind third-placed Napoli who have been unbeaten in four games. The hosts 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. Good defending on both sides nipped many chances in the bud as Juve centre-back Gleison Bremer did well to keep Lukaku under control while Napoli’s back line proved too tough to crack for Dusan Vlahovic, who was replaced at halftime by Timothy Weah. Vlahovic hasn’t scored in five of his six appearances for Juve this season and only touched the ball six times in the first half in another frustrating display. “It’s not like he [Vlahovic] comes to the game and says I won’t score today,” said Juve’s midfielder Weston McKennie. “We have to keep his head up, remind him he’s an important player and the goals will come.” Napoli coach Antonio Conte, meanwhile, was happy with his team’s defensive display. “I was concerned about the defence tonight but they were excellent tonight,” Conte told DAZN. “We were at Juventus, who finished 18 points ahead of us last season and are in the Champion League. I asked the team to carry on their good form and I think they played well.” Earlier, Venezia won their first match since promotion, claiming a 2-0 win over Genoa.
