Napoli miss the chance to go top of Serie as Antonio Conte's side are held to a goalless draw by struggling Venezia.

Napoli wasted a chance to provisionally reclaim top spot in the Serie A standings for the first time since February when they were held to a 0-0 draw at second-from-bottom Venezia on Sunday.

Venezia also had plenty of chances, with their best coming three minutes from the break. Alex Meret did well to parry from Kike Pérez and Daniel Fila’s follow-up was cleared off the line by Napoli defender Amir Rrahmani.

Napoli kept up the pressure on Serie A leader Inter Milan as it finally got back to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina.

Inter Milan on Sunday night beat title rivals Atalanta to extend their lead at the top of the Serie A table. Carlos Augusto and Lautaro Martinez scored in the second half of the match to lift the league leaders three points above second placed Napoli and six points above third-placed Atalanta with nine rounds of matches to go.
