MILAN -- Roma was thwarted time and time again by Empoli goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski, who is on loan from the capital club, as it was held 0-0 on Sunday and failed to keep pace with Serie A leader Juventus.Skorupski flew to fingertip Edin Dzekos header out from under the crossbar in the opening minutes and pulled off another spectacular save moments later to keep out Mohamed Salahs strike.The Poland internationals heroics continued throughout the match and when he was finally beaten, late on, Manuel Pasqual was on hand to clear Dzekos header off the line.Skorupski also tipped Stephan El Shaarawys volley over the bar in stoppage time.We created a lot, we dont have much to reproach ourselves for, Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi said. The goalkeeper was phenomenal. In other countries players on loan cant face their parent club. We were talking about it just the other day before the match against Sassuolo, which has a lot of Roma youngsters.If Empoli manages to escape relegation it will owe a great deal to Skorupski and his defense, as Giovanni Martusciellos side has scored just two goals in 11 matches this season -- the fewest in Europes top five leagues.Roma is four points behind Juventus, which beat Napoli 2-1 on Saturday. Empoli moved level with 17th-placed Pescara.---AC MILAN 1, PESCARA 0AC Milan is emerging as a serious challenger for the title and a fourth successive home win saw it leapfrog Napoli into third place, five points behind Juventus.We have to go beyond our limits, Milan coach Vincenzo Montella said. Champions League? Our duty is not to be satisfied with what we have done. We have to think about improving and going beyond our limits.We are having a good season and I know that there is an immense team spirit.Milan again had teenage goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to thank.While fellow youngster Manuel Locatelli stole the headlines in last weekends win over Juventus, Donnarumma pulled off several stunning saves to protect his sides lead.The 17-year-old kept Ledian Memushajs strike from going into the top corner shortly after the hour with a flying one-handed save and was again at full stretch to deny Gianluca Caprari late on.Giacomo Bonaventura scored the only goal of the match, four minutes into the second half, placing a cheeky free kick under the wall as it jumped and into the bottom left corner.Milan also hit the woodwork in each half, through a MBaye Niang header and a Carlos Bacca close-range strike.---SAMPDORIA 1, INTER MILAN 0Inter Milan coach Frank de Boers position remains perilous as his side fell to a fourth defeat in five league matches.Fabio Quagliarella scored the only goal of an entertaining match on the stroke of halftime, shooting into the bottom right corner after Karol Linetty rolled the ball across the area.Both sides hit the woodwork and had several chances, with Rodrigo Palacio going closest for Inter in the final minute. His effort crashed off the underside of the crossbar and landed just the wrong side of the goalline for the Nerazzurri.Sampdoria moved level with 11th-placed Inter.---CROTONE 2, CHIEVO VERONA 0Bottom club Crotone recorded its first ever Serie A victory although there was an unseemly spat over who was to take the penalty that led to the first goal.Lucas Castro brought down Djamel Mesbah on the stroke of halftime and Marcello Trotta converted, after arguing with Diego Falcinelli over who was to take the spot kick and shoving each other.Falcinelli got on the scoresheet in stoppage time with a powerful strike to seal the result and spark rapturous celebrations in the stadium.Crotone moved onto five points, two from safety.---OTHER MATCHESLazio is just a point behind Milan after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Sassuolo.The capital side broke the deadlock in controversial circumstances five minutes into the second half. Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli palmed away Keita Balde Diaos cross but it ricocheted into the back of the net off Senad Lulic, who was in an offside position.Lazio doubled its lead four minutes later when Stefan Radu flicked on a corner for Ciro Immobile to volley in at the back post.Gregoire Defrel got Sassuolo back in the match two minutes later but it couldnt find the equalizer.Earlier, Atalanta comfortably beat Genoa 3-0 with a first-half double from Jasmin Kurtic and a late goal from Papu Gomez.Cody Bellinger Womens Jersey .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee.
