Napoli twice came from behind to
beat Udinese 4-2 on Wednesday and cut Juventus's lead to four
points ahead of Sunday's top-of-the-table clash between the two
sides.
The Turin giants, who are aiming for a seventh consecutive
Serie A title, looked on course to extend their lead from six
points for nine when they took the lead at relegation-threatened
Crotone thanks to Alex Sandro and Napoli went behind.
But Crotone equalised with a remarkable overhead kick by Simi
to earn the southern side a 1-1 draw and Napoli rallied to keep
the title race interesting.
Juve have 85 points with five games to go while Napoli have
81.
AS Roma and Lazio both won to push Inter, who thrashed
Cagliari 4-0 on Tuesday, back down to fifth and out of the
Champions League qualification slots.
Third-placed Roma beat Genoa 2-1 at home and fourth-placed
Lazio came from 2-0 and 3-2 down to triumph 4-2 at Fiorentina.
Roma and Lazio both have 64 points, one more than Inter.
Sixth-placed AC Milan were held 1-1 by Torino and have 54
points.
