End of 2nd Half
FT
Full-time: A huge, huge win for Napoli, and one which eases the pressure on Gennaro Gattuso. And it's a devastating blow for Juventus' hopes of a 10th consecutive Serie A title!
90'+5
Chisea leans back and volleys over the bar, and that could be that for Juve's attempts of drawing level.
90'+3
Yellow card! Rabiot goes into the book for a foul on Lozano, and Napoli will be in no hurry to take the free-kick.
