AC Milan were held to a goalless draw by Juventus Sunday, losing ground in the Serie A title race and allowing Napoli to move second following their 4-1 thumping of Salernitana. Two points behind local rivals Inter Milan before this weekend, Milan now trail the champions by four after a largely drab affair at the San Siro and have dropped down to third after Napoli drew level with them on 49 points. With the Milan derby straight after the international break which starts Monday, an already huge match will take on extra significance when Serie A returns next month, with Napoli at relegation-threatened Venezia. During his tumultuous time at Napoli, Maradona led the southern club to their only two championship crowns and the 1989 Uefa Cup. Dries Mertens' club record-extending 144th Napoli goal came after Federico Bonazzoli had levelled Juan Jesus' 17th-minute opener.
