PARMA: AC Milan are level with Napoli at the top of Serie A after throwing away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 on Saturday in an entertaining match at lowly Parma.&nbsp;Two ahead in the 25th minute thanks to Alexis Saelemaekers&#39; early strike and a Rafael Leao penalty, Milan looked set to go two points in front of Napoli ahead of the champions&#39; tricky away fixture at Bologna on Sunday.&nbsp;But Adrian Bernabe curled in a magnificent goal for the hosts on the stroke of half-time to halve the deficit and Enrico Delprato&#39;s glancing header gave Parma a deserved draw which put them two points above the relegation zone.&nbsp;Mateo Pellegrino hit the post seconds before captain Delprato&#39;s first goal since January as Milan had to deal with an attacking onslaught from Parma after half-time.&nbsp;Milan can be overtaken on Sunday by Roma and local rivals Inter Milan, who take on Lazio at the San Siro, with both teams a point behind the leading pair.&nbsp;The away side could have escaped with a win as substitute Christian Pulisic and Saelemaekers wasted golden opportunities to score.&nbsp;Pulisic rolled wide when one-on-one with Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki in the 76th minute, and six minutes later Saelemaekers blasted over in front of an open goal having already skipped round Suzuki.&nbsp;Three points behind Milan and Napoli are Juventus, who were held to a goalless draw by local rivals Torino on a day which had featured no goals until Saelemaekers opened the scoring in Parma.&nbsp;Juve sit fifth on 19 points after a scrappy but engaging derby at their Allianz Stadium in which both teams had chances to win.&nbsp;Che Adams was denied in the 63rd minute when the Scotland forward charged forward and unleashed a low drive which was brilliantly kept out by Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio.&nbsp;And moments later Di Gregorio&#39;s Torino counterpart Alberto Paleari pulled off an even more impressive stop to claw away Weston McKennie&#39;s close-range header.
