Juventus were held to a goalless draw by Napoli in Serie A on Saturday (Sep 21), their third consecutive match to end scoreless on the domestic front. Juve are the only side yet to concede a goal in Europe's top five leagues but they now also remain goalless since the beginning of September in their domestic campaign. Thiago Motta's side were previously held to 0-0 draws against AS Roma and Empoli before they got their Champions League campaign under way with a 3-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday. Juventus are fourth in the standings on nine points, one point behind third-placed Napoli who have been unbeaten in four games.

Politano then fired over the crossbar from 18 yards for Antonio Conte's side early in the second half, while Teun Koopmeiners curled over from a good position for Juve.
Napoli moved up to third place on 10 points – a point behind Torino and one clear of Juve who are fourth after their third successive league draw.
