AC Milan dominated but had to settle for a point at the Stadio Olimpico.

In a battle of two teams who still have scudetto aspirations, the Rossoneri had numerous opportunities to break the deadlock but failed to take any of them.

The result left Milan in second place - three points behind Serie A leaders and city rivals Inter, who will take on Genoa with a chance to extend their gap at the summit to six points.

Roma remained third, two points behind Milan.

Juventus moved back into the top four in Serie A thanks to a narrow victory over Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

The Turin giants are under enormous pressure after an indifferent season and coach Alberto Zaccheroni, who has the job until the end of the season, felt the full force of the fans' frustration last weekend.

Defeat by Palermo was their first under his tenure but that did not stop irate supporters setting fire to a section of the Stadio Olimpico in protest.

Serie A leaders Inter Milan were held to a goalless draw by Genoa at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium.

The Nerazzurri went into the game knowing that a win would see them climb six points clear of second-placed AC Milan after the Rossoneri were held to a 0-0 draw by Roma on Saturday.

However, Inter could not find their way past a resilient Genoa side and despite a strong finish, the hosts had to settle for a point.

Despite the result, Inter hold a four-point cushion over Milan at the top of the standings with opponents Genoa ninth.
