AC Milan missed a chance to cement their position as Serie A leaders on Sunday after only managing a goalless draw at Torino which left them just two points ahead of the chasing pack.Stefano Pioli’s side had the chance to extend their lead to four after Napoli slumped to a 3-2 home defeat at the hands of Fiorentina but once again underwhelmed against modest opposition.One Osimhen not enough for Scudetto: Viola upset Napoli to tarnish their title hopesThe draw not only let third-placed Napoli off the hook but gave Milan’s local rivals Inter Milan the upper hand in an enthralling race for the Scudetto, as the champions also sit two back in second after their 2-0 win over Verona on Saturday but with a game in hand.Inter make amends for three draws in the last four games by trashing VeronaAlso, the big winners this weekend are Juventus, who looked out of the picture after being defeated by Inter last weekend but are now six points back in fourth with six matches still to play.Unconvincing Juve do not give up on the Champions League spot”Torino are tough for everyone to score against. We battled hard, but we’re missing that little moment of magic,” said Pioli to DAZN.”Three weeks ago we were the favourites, then it was Napoli, then Inter… I think it’s going to be close right up until the final day.”Milan have kept six straight clean sheets but have had trouble finding the net in recent weeks and, hampered by last-minute injuries to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ismael Bennacer and Ante Rebic, on Sunday did little to suggest they are a title-winning side.Bremer is a top defender 🔥🔥Man of the match and helped Torino earn a draw vs Milan He was a brick wall in the backend.
