AC Milan's Christian Pulisic missed a penalty and his side had to settle for a 0-0 draw away to Juventus on Sunday, denying the visitors a return to the top of the Serie A standings.

After Napoli and AS Roma, along with Inter Milan, all registered wins over the weekend, the pressure was on Milan and Juventus to keep pace at the top, leading to a cagey game, but there were chances for both sides to take all three points.

Jonathan David for Juventus and Santiago Gimenez for the visitors were guilty of missed first-half opportunities and when Milan were awarded a penalty after the break, Pulisic blazed his effort over.

The draw puts Milan on 13 points, third in the standings and two points behind leaders Napoli and Roma, while Juventus are a further point back in fifth, behind Inter on goal difference.
