Frustrated AC Milan stay second after draw with Napoli

Frustrated AC Milan missed the chance to seize top spot in Serie A when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Napoli at the San Siro on Sunday.

Faltering leaders Inter Milan drew 1-1 at Palermo on Saturday to give second-placed Milan a glimpse of the summit for the first time this term but instead they lie one point behind.

Milan right back Massimo Oddo collided with his own goalkeeper Christian Abbiati and left Napoli defender Hugo Campagnaro to slot into an open goal before Filippo Inzaghi levelled by heading in Ronaldinho''s cross on 26 minutes.

Fourth-bottom Lazio opened up a four-point cushion above the drop zone after forwards Tommaso Rocchi and Sergio Floccari scored confident goals in a 2-0 win at Cagliari, whose fans will be given refunds for the defeat under a club initiative.
