A LAST-GASP winner in Turin on Sunday saw Napoli keep their title hopes alive.
Kalidou Koulibaly scored the all-important goal, as the visitors beat title rivals Juventus 1-0.
Consequently, with both teams having four games left to play, the title race is looking incredibly tight, as Juve’s lead has been reduced to a single point.
Juventus are bidding for their seventh Serie A title in succession and 34th in total, whereas Napoli have only been champions twice in their history — in 1987 and 1990.
Despite last night’s setback, Juventus — who are bidding to do the double with a Coppa Italia final appearance against Milan also still to come — remain marginal favourites given that they still hold the advantage at the top, though their rivals appear to have the slightly easier run-in.
The two sides remaining games are as follows:
Juventus: Inter (away), Bologna (home), Roma (away), Hellas Verona (home).
Napoli: Fiorentina (away), Torino (home), Sampdoria (away), Crotone (home).
Italian Serie A table after Sunday’s late match:
– Top four qualify for Champions League, fifth and sixth qualify for Europa League
– Bottom three teams are relegated to the second division
