Beckham dropped to bench in stalemate

AC Milan dominated but had to settle for a point at the Stadio Olimpico as they drew 0-0 with Roma in Serie A. In a battle of two teams who still have scudetto aspirations, the Rossoneri had numerous opportunities to break the deadlock, but failed to take any of them. The result left Milan in second place, three points behind leaders and city rivals Inter, who will take on Genoa on Sunday with a chance to extend their gap at the summit to six points. Milan went into the game on the back of four straight wins in the league and hoping to keep the momentum going ahead of next week's UEFA Champions League clash at Manchester United. However, the absence of Milan's top scorer, Alexandre Pato, because of injury hindered Leonardo's side. Klaas Jan Huntelaar earned a starting place instead and England midfielder David Beckham was dropped to the bench.
