Inter Milan remain 14 points clear atop Serie A after twice being pegged back in a 2-2 draw at home to Cagliari on Sunday.
After closest challengers AC Milan drew 3-3 at Sassuolo earlier on, Inter could have moved 16 points ahead with six fixtures left and they led at the interval courtesy of Marcus Thuram’s early strike.
Eldor Shomurodov drew Cagliari level and while Hakan Calhanoglu put Inter back ahead from the spot, Nicolas Viola made sure of a point apiece with his 82nd-minute strike from close range.
The stalemate might just be a mere hiccup for Inter, who can seal a first Scudetto in three years by beating city rivals Milan next Monday.
Roma defender Evan Ndicka is recovering in hospital after collapsing on the pitch during his side’s clash with Udinese.
The game at the Bluenergy Stadium was abandoned after 72 minutes with the score at 1-1 after the 24-year-old Ivory Coast international went down off the ball.
Ndicka was carried off on a stretcher after undergoing treatment on the pitch, but Roma later confirmed that the former Auxerre and Eintracht Frankfurt player was “feeling better” and “in good spirits” after being taken to hospital for checks. Brest were unable to narrow a 10-point deficit on Ligue 1 leaders Paris St Germain after squandering a 3-1 lead at Lyon to lose 4-3 at the Groupama Stadium.
While Corentin Tolisso put Lyon ahead, the visitors struck three times in seven second-half minutes through Steve Mounie and Romain Del Castillo’s brace but Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Tagliafico levelled.
Tagliafico and Pierre Lees-Melou were given their marching orders after a clash late on before Ainsley Maitland-Niles sealed victory with his penalty in the 16th minute of time added-on in a chaotic finish.
