Napoli Held to Second Consecutive Draw, Miss Chance to Widen Serie A Lead

Antonio Conte's side remains four points ahead in the standings after a 1-1 draw against Udinese in Naples.

Napoli extended their unbeaten streak to nine matches but missed the chance to go six points clear at the top of Serie A after a 1-1 draw with Udinese.
Scott McTominay gave Napoli the lead in the 37th minute with a header from Matteo Politano's corner, marking his sixth league goal of the season.
Udinese equalized just three minutes later through Jurgen Ekkelenkamp's long-range strike, which swerved past Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret.
Napoli dominated possession and created numerous opportunities, particularly in the first half, but struggled to convert their chances into goals.
Inter Milan, currently four points behind Napoli, could close the gap to just three points if they defeat Fiorentina on Monday.
