Cristiano Ronaldo was saved from a penalty when Juventus drew for the sixth time in 12 Serie A games, this time against Atalanta.

Federico Chiesa put the champion ahead with a good shot from outside the area, his first league goal for Juve.

Remo Freuler tied for Atalanta from the middle of the table with a nice 25-yard strike from the bottom of the bar.

Ronaldo had a chance to win the game after Chiesa was fouled, but Pierluigi Gollini hit home to save his shot.

Former Aston Villa goalkeeper Gollini played an excellent game and rejected Álvaro Morata with a good save.

Juve, who have won the last nine titles, are undefeated after 12 league games with Andrea Pirlo, although half of them have been draws.

They are third in the table, four points behind the leader AC Milan.

Milan needed a 83rd-minute draw from Pierre Kalulu to draw 2-2 in Genoa and maintain their other unbeaten streak in Serie A.

Mattia Destro gave Genoa the lead twice with Davide Calabria scoring the first draw.

Romelu Lukaku scored a penalty when second-placed Inter Milan beat Napoli 1-0, which sent Lorenzo Insigne off.

Former Manchester United trio Lukaku, Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic of AC Milan are the league’s top scorers with 10 goals each.
