In fact, it’s even a bit of a shame that Juventus’ absurd (too many draws and zero losses) streak has been interrupted. But the good news is that Napoli did it. At one point it seemed that Napoli had slowed down and Inter would easily dominate (and therefore there would be no intrigue) but Napoli got back into the game and are now on equal terms with Inter.
It would have been better they lost few games and won more than to gather so many draws. It was a good win for Napoli and it's also great to see Lukaku in action. He was torn on the flesh of the Juventus defenders and he also showed his penalty prowess. Napoli might end up winning the Seria A title if clubs like Juventus keep dropping points. The Old Ladies used to be a force to reckon with in Italy but they have lost their glory in recent times maybe due to several sanctions.

Juventus and Milan are no longer in the title race - Juventus have 37 points, Milan could have 37 if they win a game in hand. Napoli have 53 points, an advantage that is almost impossible to catch up with. The title is actually fought for by two clubs - Napoli and Inter (equal number of lost points), with Inter the favorite according to bookmakers. Overall, I am pleased with the fact that the title race is competitive, plus the fight for the top 4 is no less competitive, where Juventus and Milan risk losing.
Of course, Milan and Juventus couldn't meet up to be among the title contenders this season because of their inconsistencies, and not having the zeal to improve their performance in order for them to meet up to the standards of Napoli and Inter. It was towards the end of last season that I had the feelings Juventus will not be among the top four this season due to the constant decline in their performance.
