Stoppage for Lazio. Leaders of Serie A and victorious in their last six league outings, Gennaro Gattuso’s players were held in check by Naples this Sunday (1-1), on the 11th day. However, they had unlocked this meeting thanks to Davide Frattesi, scorer from a tight angle after a service from Noslin (28th, 0-1). Lazio’s Greek goalkeeper, Christos Mandas, saved Höjlund’s equalizing ball on his line (42nd), but not that of Scott McTominay.
On a cross from Noa Lang at the far post, the Scotsman prowled to catapult the ball into the goal with the help of Alfonso Pedraza (48th, 1-1). For Naples and Max Allegri, this result is not catastrophic. It would have been if the Partenopei had conceded a third defeat in a row after those against Juve (2-0) and Porto (4-1). Still, the Neapolitan coach finds himself weakened. His team is 10th in Serie A. Lazio remains leader with two points ahead of its Roman rival.
