Napoli missed the opportunity to return to the top of the Serie A table as they were held to a goalless home draw by Fiorentina. After leaders Inter Milan and third-placed Juventus shared the same scoreline on Saturday evening, a win for Napoli would have seen them leapfrog Inter but they could not make a breakthrough against a dogged Fiorentina team.
