Napoli 2-4 Roma

Edin Dzeko took his tally for the sesson to 14 goals

Napoli saw their lead over Juventus at the top of Serie A cut to a single point as Roma claimed a deserved win thanks to two goals from Edin Dzeko.

Cengiz Under and Diego Perotti also scored as Roma ended Napoli's 10-match winning run.

Lorenzo Insigne had opened the scoring for Napoli, with Dries Mertens adding a stoppage time consolation.

Juventus earlier edged out Lazio 1-0 thanks to Paulo Dybala's 93rd-minute strike.

With just seconds remaining, Argentinean forward Dybala tricked his way into the penalty area to hook the ball beyond goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha.

Defending champions Juventus also have a game in hand on Napoli.

Roma took advantage of Lazio's defeat to move up to third in the battle for Champions League qualification.

Lazio dropped to fourth, a point clear of Inter, who face AC Milan on Sunday.
