Serie A: Napoli back on the winning track thanks to Lecce own goal

The Hindu  

Napoli took another step closer to ending its 33-year wait to win the Serie A title after it came away from Lecce with a 2-1 win on Friday thanks to a bizarre own goal from Lecce defender Antonino Gallo. Napoli, whose shock 4-0 loss to AC Milan on Sunday was only its third league defeat of the season, is within touching distance of winning the Serie A title for the first time since 1990 with nine games left to play. Napoli was without Serie A top scorer Victor Osimhen, who is still recovering from a thigh strain, and Spalletti admitted the team was hampered by the Nigerian’s absence. He really did run the risk of hurting himself badly and being ruled out for the rest of the season, so the medics were right to make him take some time out.” The match concluded another miserable week for Lecce, who have now suffered six straight defeats in Serie A and is 16th, eight points above the relegation zone.
