Roma's stoppage-time equalizer halts Napoli's winning streak

Serie A leaders Napoli were held by a late goal at Roma on Sunday.

Napoli looked to be heading five points clear at the top of the table as they led in Rome until Angelino volleyed in a stunning leveller in the first minute of added time to make the score 1-1.

Angelino's strike gave even more significance to Stefan de Vrij's last-gasp equalizer in the Milan derby at the San Siro earlier in the day.

Napoli were on course for an eighth straight win after Roma old boy Leonardo Spinazzola looped home his first goal of the season in the 29th minute in Rome.

But Roma, who are ninth, nine points behind Juventus in fourth, fought back against their fierce rivals and Angelino brought the house down when he crashed home Alexis Saelemaekers' beautifully floated cross.

That Roma strike could be important for Inter who on Thursday complete their fixture with Fiorentina which was stopped in December after Viola midfielder Edoardo Bove's on-pitch collapse.

Should two teams finish level on points at the top of the league come the end of the season the Scudetto will be decided by a play-off between those sides.

"We obviously leave here with a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth because we were leading until the 92nd minute without even being under that much pressure," said Napoli coach Antonio Conte.

"These things happen, it's part of a team growing and in the end it's another point in the bag."
