Lazio moved up to second place in the table

Serie A leaders Napoli, searching for their third league title, suffered only their second league defeat of the season as they were beaten 1-0 at home to Lazio, who moved up to second in the table.

Matias Vecino scored the winner midway through the second half with an excellent strike from outside the penalty area. It was the first goal Napoli had conceded in six games.

Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic also hit the woodwork with a free-kick.

Despite the first home loss, Napoli are still in a dominant position as they are 17 points clear of Lazio, who move one point above Inter and AC Milan with the Milan clubs both having a game in hand.

AC Milan play at Fiorentina on Saturday before Inter entertain Lecce on Sunday.
