AC Milan extended their lead to four points at the top of Serie A with a 2-0 win over Lecce as Juventus were held 0-0 at Genoa on Sunday.
Goals from Antonio Nocerino and Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave Milan a comfortable victory.
Juve, who were facing a defensive selection crisis, drew for the fourth game in a row and sixth time in their last seven outings although they hit the woodwork three times on Sunday.
Although unbeaten, they have now drawn more than half their league matches this season.
And that is what has allowed champions Milan to not only haul them in but streak past as they bid for a second title in a row.
The rossoneri never looked in any danger of dropping points against Lecce and took the lead after just seven minutes.
Robinho chipped the ball into the box and Ibrahimovic's back-heel flick found Nocerino, whose volleyed finish deflected off Leonardo Miglionico and beat goalkeeper Massimiliano Benassi.
Milan created plenty of shooting chances around the box but produced nothing to unduly worry Benassi.
But they moved further in front on 65 minutes as another Robinho chip into the box found Urby Emanuelson, whose cushioned headed back to Ibrahimovic was lashed ruthlessly into the net.
Lecce remain third from bottom and are now six points from safety following Siena's 2-0 win at Cesena and Parma's 1-1 draw at Atalanta.
Juventus, who refused to talk to the press after the game, may have been missing all three of their Italy centre-backs but they showed few ill effects as they dominated in Genoa.
After a quiet first half Juve came storming out after the break and hit the woodwork three times in the first 15 minutes of the second period.
