ITALIAN SERIEA: AC MILAN missed the chance to reclaim top spot in Serie A after Andrea Esposito headed in deep into injury-time to give promoted Lecce a 1-1 home draw yesterday.
Champions Inter Milan had taken over as leaders following a 1-0 win over Udinese earlier with Julio Cruz scoring the late winner and they are now a point ahead of their city rivals, who thought they were going back to the summit after Ronaldinho's strike.
Napoli, on the same points as Milan, beat Sampdoria 2-0 while Lazio are fourth after defeating Siena 3-0 at home thanks to a brace by Tommaso Rocchi and Mauro Zarate's goal.
Alessandro Del Piero celebrated his 34th birthday by scoring a third free kick in a week to help Juventus to a 2-0 win at lowly Chievo which puts them joint-fifth with Udinese.
