AC Milan missed the chance to go two points clear at the top of Serie A after throwing away a two-goal lead against strugglers Parma, while Juventus were frustrated in a goalless draw with Torino.
A 2-2 draw with Parma leaves Milan level with Napoli on 22 points having played one game more.
Alexis Saelemaekers put Milan ahead in the 12th minute with a well-placed strike from the edge of the penalty area before the Belgian midfielder won a penalty that Rafael Leao coolly converted.
Milan looked in complete control until Parma’s Adrian Bernabe found the top corner with a curling strike to half the deficit in first-half stoppage time.
Parma started the second half strongly and seconds after Mateo Pellegrino hit the crossbar, Enrico Delprato beat Mike Maignan to a cross to head the hosts level in the 62nd minute.
Christian Pulisic should have put the rossoneri back in front but he fired wide with only Zion Suzuki to beat before Saelemaekers missed the target after rounding the Parma goalkeeper.
Meanwhile, Juventus’ inconsistent start to the season continued as they were held to a goalless draw by Torino in Luciano Spalletti’s third match in charge.
After taking 22 shots but failing to find a way past Alberto Paleari in the Torino goal, Juventus are fifth in the table with 19 points.
