This is the goal that has put Napoli 13 points clear!
End of 2nd Half

FULL-TIME: NAPOLI 2-1 ROMA
The title moves even closer! What a game! What a win! Roma threw the kitchen sink at them in injury time, and they arguably deserved a point for their performance after the break, but Napoli found a way - like champions do. Superb drama. Brililant match.

CAN NAPOLI FIND A WINNER?
They've certainly not been the better team in this half, and you feel without Osimhen they lack a bit of bite

OSIMHEN CAN'T CLIMB HIGH ENOUGH
Lozano whips in a cross from the right, and Osimhen meets it, only to head well over the bar
64'
PATRICIO TO THE RESCUE!
Oh it should be game over! Napoli break from a Roma corner and it's suddenly three on two. Lozano could pass - should pass - but goes alone and sees his goal bound shot tipped over
62'
TERRIFIC MERET SAVE
That's a much better effort from Cristante, a flicked header at the near post, but Meret dives full stretch to deny with his right palm
