Inter Milan cut Juventus's lead
at the top of Serie A to three points with a home draw to
Cagliari while the Bianconeri went down 2-1 at Napoli.
Roma and Lazio drew the Roman derby 1-1 so Lazio are still
two behind Inter with a game in hand, against Verona.
After 21 games Juve have 51 points, Inter 48 and Lazio 46.
Roma are in fourth place, on 39 points, one ahead of Atalanta
who won 7-0 at Torino.
Inter saw an early strike by Lautaro Martinez cancelled out
by a late 'gol dell'ex' from Radja Nainngolan, which went in off
the post and via a deflection.
They were unlucky to draw despite not being very inspired,
and disappointed to see Martinze get a red card for dissent at
the death.
Napoli went two up on Juve thanks to Polan midfielder Piotr
Zielinski, who tapped in a save from Lorenzo Insigne, and then
late on with an overhead kick by man-of-the-match Insigne
himself.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a very late consolation goal for the
Turin giants.
Most neutrals thought Roma were unlucky not to win the derby
against an out-of-sorts Lazio, whose 11-game winning streak in
Serie A came to an end with a tired display.
Napoli dispelled a crisis after five losses with an
impressive performance against the league leaders which recalled
how they won four points out of six against Liverpool in the
Champions League group stage last year.
The San Paolo was ecstatic at the win over their traditional
foes.
