Napoli hold Serie A leaders Lazio, Milan cast aside Euro blues at Genoa
ROME: Serie A leaders Lazio dropped points for just the second time this season in Sunday’s 1-1 draw away to struggling Napoli, while AC Milan climbed into the top four with a 2-1 win at Genoa.
In Serie A, Lazio suffered their second pointless draw of the season, losing 1-1 to Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Davide Frattesi scored the only goal for Lazio in the 28th minute, but Alfonso Pedraza equalized for Napoli through an own goal in the second half. Napoli's poor form continued, with Genoa remaining unbeaten and leading the table by two points.
The Italians claimed they were not out of the race for the top four, the Coppa Italia, or UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, AC Milan bounced back from a Europa League defeat, defeating Genoa 2-1 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Goals from Alphadjo Cisse and Christian Pulisic secured the victory, with Mikael Ellertsson scoring a consolation goal for Genoa.
