Milan remain third but are now 13 points adrift of Juve.
MILAN:
Goals from Paul Pogba, Sebastian Giovinco and Stephan Lichsteiner eased Juventus to a 3-0 home win over Siena and a seven-point lead on Serie A title challengers Napoli on Sunday.
In the late match, dominant AC Milan had to settle for a 1-1 draw away to Inter after Ezequiel Schelotto levelled Stephan El Shaarawy’s 21st minute opener for the Rossoneri. Milan remain third but are now 13 points adrift of Juve.
“It was a fair result,” said Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni, whose side remained fifth, 14 points shy of Juve and still one behind Milan. “Milan had a great first half but we came back into it in the second.”
