Juve, Napoli play out goalless draw in early Serie A title tussle

The fiercely contested, yet far from thrilling, match at the Allianz Stadium in Turin saw Juventus maintain their unbeaten start under new coach Thiago Motta.

Juve are yet to concede in Serie A this season, but their third consecutive league stalemate denied them top spot, which is currently held by local rivals Torino following their 3-2 win at Verona on Friday.

Torino lead the table by a point ahead of Udinese, who face Roma on Sunday, and third-placed Napoli, while Juve are another point behind in fourth.

“Without goals, it’s impossible to win games,” said a blunt Weston McKennie.

Motta surprised many by substituting Dusan Vlahovic at half-time for Timothy Weah, with the Serbian striker taken off purely for tactical reasons.
