NAPOLI DROP POINTS BUT RETAIN POLE POSITION GOING INTO FINAL DAY
Napoli struck the woodwork on three occasions but were unable to claim victory at Parma, though title rivals' Inter's failure to win means they retain control of the destiny of the Scudetto going into the last game of the season.
Antonio Conte's side, who drew for the second match in succession, will win the title if they beat Cagliari on the final day, or they match the result Inter claim at Como - after the Nerazzurri drew at home to Lazio on Sunday night.
The visitors were far from their best, and did not create a great deal, but were inches from scoring on three occasions, as Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa lobbed a defender before hitting a volley which came back off the post, Matteo Politano mishit a cross which landed on the crossbar and Scott McTominay saw a fantastic free-kick tipped onto the bar by Zion Suzuki.
The match was far from one-way traffic, with Parma recording more shots on goal and Simon Sohm's powerful, deflected drive brought out a fine stop from Alex Meret.
The mood of the match, influenced by the hordes of Napoli fans behind the goal, swayed as the score at the San Siro changed, with Inter twice pegged back by Lazio, but after its conclusion Conte - who like his Inter counterpart Simone Inzaghi was red-carded - was able to celebrate with his club's supporters and they will now expect to do so again next Sunday.

NAPOLI HAVE IT HOW THEY WANT IT - SPACKMAN
"Napoli have an easier match, against Cagliari, and it's at home," TNT Sports expert pundit Nigel Spackman said.
"Inter have a much tougher trip to Como.
"You have to say it's in Napoli's hands and that's how you want it."
CONTE CELEBRATES WITH NAPOLI FANS
It is not the result they wanted, but they will take the position they are in. Not seen a draw in a title race hailed like this since Sir Alex Ferguson at Highbury many years ago.
