Juventus on brink of title after last-gasp penalty save
Napoli had to claim all three points at the Stadio Olimpico to keep their slim hopes of catching Juve alive but were defeated 1-0 by third-placed Roma as Radja Nainggolan struck a late victor.

Napoli remain second but are now just two points ahead of Roma as the pair battle for the league’s second automatic Champions League qualifying place.
Nikola Kalinic pounced on an terrible defensive error from Leonardo Bonucci to seemingly seal a draw for Fiorentina with nine minutes remaining, but Morata responded from close range just 107 seconds later.
“We won also thanks to Buffon, who is superhuman”, Morata said.
Leading their frontline has been new signing Paolo Dybala from Palermo, the Argentine comfortably filling in the boots of the departed Carlos Tevez with 16 League goals this season, with strike partner Mario Mandzukic ably assisting with ten goals himself.
On Juve’s likely title win and the victory in Florence, he said: “Everyone said we were dead and buried (in reference to Juve’s poor start to the season)”.
Juventus celebrate winning the Serie A trophy a year ago.
“I always say that you can only improve by enduring the hard times”.
But, as their rivals faltered, Juventus, who beat Fiorentina 2-1 on Sunday, put together an astonishing run in which they took 73 points out a possible 75 to win the title with games to spare. “You need patience to find the right rhythm”. “They’ll be pumped up for it and we can expect a tough match”, Allegri said.
Gonzalo Higuain, the Napoli forward who tops Serie A scoring this season with 30 goals, returned from a three-match ban for severe protests with the referee.
But in summer-like weather, Roma’s bid to qualify automatically for next season’s Champions League inspired the hosts to a solid display in which Higuain was given few chances to increase his impressive goals tally.

Backing one side to score +2.5 goals without conceding tempts as a 9/1 outside shot while investing in a road win to nil is a safer bet at 12/5. It was game on with Fiorentina gunning for all three points.
