Napoli missed the chance to move five points clear at the top of Serie A as they were held to a last-gasp 1-1 draw at Roma on Sunday.

The leaders had hoped to take advantage of nearest rivals Inter Milan’s own 1-1 draw earlier on Sunday but were undone in stoppage time at the Stadio Olimpico.

Leonardo Spinazzola put Napoli on course for victory but Angelino denied them in the second additional minute.

That made Stefan de Vrij’s late leveller for Inter in a breathless derby against AC Milan at the San Siro all the more valuable.

De Vrij also netted in stoppage time as Inter, after hitting the woodwork three times, were finally rewarded for a strong finish against their arch-rivals.
