Juventus stretched their lead at
the top of Serie A to six points by beating Sampdoria 3-0 on
Sunday after second-placed Napoli were held to a goalless draw
at AC Milan.
The Turin giants, who are aiming for a seventh consecutive
league title, have 84 points with six games to go thanks to
goals by Mario Mandzukic, Benedikt Hoewedes and Sami Khedira.
Napoli have 78 points after striker Arkadiusz Milik failed to
put away a glorious chance for a winner in injury time, although
Milan keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma deserves credit for producing
a stunning save.
Third-placed AS Roma and fourth-placed Lazio are level on 61
points after battling out a 0-0 tie.
Roma, on a high after their stunning win over Barcelona last
week put them in the Champions League semi-finals, hit the
woodwork twice.
But Lazio, who were reeling after blowing a commanding lead
to slump out of the Europa League at the quarterfinal stage
against Salzburg on Thursday, also had several good chances
despite defender Stefan Radu being sent for a second yellow card
in the closing stages.
Inter are one point behind Roma and Lazio in fifth after they
were held 0-0 at Atalanta.
