Roma salvage draw at Napoli in great result for Milan clubs

Jose Mourinho's Roma made a dramatic late comeback in Serie A to salvage a point away to Napoli in a 1-1 draw that will have been celebrated more in Milan than anywhere else.

The home side led through a first half Lorenzo Insigne penalty and seemed to be comfortably seeing the game out late on until they succumbed to a late flurry of Roma pressure after taking the foot off the gas.

With a little over 10 minutes to go Roma's substitute goalkeeper Daniel Fuzato was shown a red card for his protests from the bench has the visitors claimed for an unlikely penalty. The incident seemed to galvanise Roma, however, as Napoli relaxed and head coach Luciano Spalletti made defensive changes in an attempt to ease their way to the final whistle.

It wasn't to be, though, as Roma eventually found the breakthrough when Tammy Abraham squared for Stephan El Shaarawy whose finish was low and accurate, leaving Alex Meret helpless.

With players like Insigne and Victor Osimhen already resting on the bench, Napoli had little to offer in response to the stoppage time goal, despite having a further eight minutes to play. Indeed it was Roma who looked more likely to go on and grab a winner, only to be let down by a lack of composure with the final ball.

The result means that Napoli fail to draw level on points with Inter, who still have a game in hand which could take them top, and leaves the Serie A title race looking increasingly like a two-horse race between the Milan clubs going into the final stretch.
