Napoli secured a crucial victory against Juventus in Serie A, with Giacomo Raspadori netting the winning goal in the 88th minute, bringing them closer to securing a European spot.
Wojciech Szczesny denied Victor Osimhen’s late penalty, but Raspadori was quick to pounce on the rebound.
Federico Chiesa’s 81st-minute goal seemed to secure a draw for Juventus, with his low strike finding the bottom corner.
Before that, a deflected Khvicha Kvaratskhelia volley had given Napoli the lead.
Playing their first match since Paul Pogba’s four-year ban for a doping offense was confirmed, Juventus squandered their own chances, with Dusan Vlahovic hitting the post with a chipped effort.
With this defeat, second-placed Juventus find themselves 12 points behind leaders Inter Milan, who have a game in hand against Genoa on Monday.
Napoli manager Francesco Calzona remains unbeaten in his four-game tenure at the club, with this victory marking his first win at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
The reigning champions are now just three points away from sixth-placed Atalanta as they strive to secure a spot in a European competition after a disappointing title-defending season.
Meanwhile, Atalanta suffered a defeat against Bologna, with Scottish midfielder Lewis Ferguson scoring a 67th-minute winner in a 2-1 victory for Thiago Motta’s side, keeping them in fourth place, four points ahead of Roma.
