Angelino's late leveller stopped Serie A leaders Napoli from extending their lead at the summit as Roma salvaged a 1-1 draw against Antonio Conte's side on Sunday. (More Football News)
𝔉Napoli had the chance to move five points clear at the top after second-placed Inter were pegged back late on by rivals AC Milan in the Derby di Milano earlier in the day.
💃But the Partenopei were unable to capitalise at the Stadio Olimpico, meaning their advantage remains at three points, with Inter also having a game in hand.
🦄Leonardo Spinazzola handed the visitors the lead against his former club in the 29th minute after lofting the ball over Mile Svilar following Juan Jesus' punt forward.
💃After the break, Leandro Paredes almost levelled for Roma as his free-kick left Alex Meret stranded, but fortunately for the Napoli goalkeeper, it was inches wide of the mark.
♑And with Napoli on course for an eighth straight Serie A win in a row, they were dealt a hammer blow to their title hopes in the second minute of second-half stoppage time.
🍰Roma surged forward down the right, with Alexis Saelemaekers' delivery to the edge of the penalty area brilliantly volleyed first time into the bottom corner by Angelino.
Data Debrief: Roma produce late late show once again
🦋Napoli knew the importance of a win on Sunday, but they were held at the death against Claudio Ranieri's side, though Roma have made a habit of scoring late on in Serie A.
ꦓRoma have now scored 28 goals from the 90th minute onwards in the last five Serie A seasons, more than any other side in the Italian top-flight since 2020-21.
👍But despite not being able to extend their Serie A lead, Napoli have won 54 points after 23 games (W17 D3 L3) this season. In the three points per win era (from 1994-95), only in 2017-18 (60) and in 2022-23 (62) have they done better after the same number of matches in the competition.
