Napoli were held to a goalless draw at home to Monza in Serie A - and could have fallen to defeat had Matteo Pessina converted a second-half penalty for the visitors.

After a very quiet first half-hour, Napoli dominated play and could easily have gone ahead when Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa latched onto a cross from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia but shot straight at Michele Di Gregorio.

The Georgian ace was close to scoring himself a minute before the interval but his effort just wouldn't curl into the far corner.

After Amir Rrahmani spurned a free header from Piotr Zielinski's set-piece early in the second half, it was Monza who had the best chance of the match.

The penalty was a little fortuitous as Juan Jesus could do little to avoid being struck in the hand by a shot from substitute Andrea Colpani.

Alex Meret came to the rescue but in truth it was a fairly easy stop from Pessina's tame kick.

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri and his opposite number Raffaele Palladino were sent off in a feisty affair, as was visiting defender Mirko Maric, deep into stoppage-time.
