The outcome comes in a round that saw Udinese hold Napoli with Roma’s resurgence continuing following their win over Venezia. Here is a look at the major talking points of the round.
Udinese shocks Napoli in leadership surge
Napoli’s dream of stretching their lead at the top of Serie A received a dent following a 1-1 draw against a less fancied Udinese.
Scott McTominay’s superb header opened the scoring for Napoli, but his effort was cancelled out by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp’s swerving strike from outside the area for the stalemate.
With their second successive stalemate, following a 1-1 draw at AS Roma last week, Napoli missed the chance to move four points clear at the top of Serie A after Inter won their Monday night game.
In-Form Mateo Retegui scores Four in Verona’s Rout
Retegui once again proved why he is one of the favourites in this season’s Golden Boot race after bagging four goals in their 5-0 win over Verona.
Retegui put Atalanta in front with a quick-fire double in four minutes before Ederson made it 3-0 following a smooth solo run. The Italian striker completed his hat-trick just before halftime on a rebound and netted again in the 56th minute, converting a neat pass from Marten de Roon.
Atalanta, who exited the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Tuesday with a 1-0 home loss to Bologna, remained third in the standings with 50 points.
Inter Milan beat Fiorentina to close the gap at the top
Marko Arnautovic’s first league goal of the season gave Inter Milan a 2-1 win over Fiorentina and reduced the gap between them and Napoli to just a point.
Lautaro Martinez headed Inter in the lead after his effort took a deflection on the way in and was given as an own goal by Marin Pongračić. Fiorentina levelled a minute before halftime with the help of the video referee. The match referee initially waved away shouts of a handball by Matteo Darmian but was awarded a spot kick after looking at the VAR, and Rolando Mandragora made no mistake from the spot.
