Napoli hold leaders Lazio in Serie A
Davide Frattesi gave the Romans a deserved lead, but Napoli drew level early in the second half through an Alfonso Pedraza own goal.
Serie A leaders Lazio were held to a 1-1 draw by struggling Napoli at the Stadio Sergio Panza on Sunday, marking just the second time this season that the defending champions dropped points. Davide Frattesi gave the Romans the lead in the 28th minute after a through ball from Tijjani Noslin, but Alfonso Pedraza equalized for Napoli with an own goal early in the second half.
Napoli, aiming for a seventh consecutive league win and a fifth consecutive away victory, currently sit 14 points behind Serie A leaders Lazio in 10th place. Despite their recent defensive struggles, the hosts managed to test goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, with Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne both seeing their efforts thwarted by the Greek stopper.
Should Inter Milan secure a win against Como later on Sunday, they would narrow the gap between themselves and Lazio to just one point.
