It was the third consecutive stalemate between the two sides in the Italian top-flight, doing so for the first time since between December 1983 and March 1985. 

Juventus are now level on points with fourth-placed Bologna, who face Antonio Conte's Napoli on Monday. 

After a slow start to proceedings, Roma burst into life in the 25th minute when Bryan Cristante's goal-bound effort was brilliantly thwarted by Pierre Kalulu. 

At the other end, Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar produced a stunning fingertip save to deny Artem Dovbyk, tipping the Ukrainian's header on to the crossbar. 

Stephan El Shaarawy then struck the post, but Claudio Ranieri's team found themselves behind five minutes before half-time against the run of play.바카라 웹사이트
