REPORT: ROMA 0-1 NAPOLI
FULL TIME!
It's all over! A stunning late strike from Victor Osimhen sees Napoli strengthen their grip on first place in Serie A after a 1-0 win over Roma at a sold out Stadio Olimpico. It's Napoli's 11th win in a row in all competitions which is the longest run in their history. For Roma, it's a missed opportunity to close the gap on the league leaders.
NAPOLI FREE-KICK
Kvaratskhelia is fouled and Napoli will surely try and pass their way to the final whistle now.
NAPOLI COMING FORWARD NOW
Luciano Spalletti's side continue to try and play their usual possession-oriented way as they look to wind the clock down.
FIVE MINUTES OF ADDED TIME
Roma are piling men forward.
A STUNNING GOAL FROM OSIMHEN
ROMA PUSHING FORWARD
But it's all a bit desperate with plenty of long balls amounting to nothing. The hosts also look very exposed at the back.

Shomurodov is on for Spinazzola as Mourinho goes all out attack. Vina is also on for Karsdorp.

GOAL!! A BRILLIANT STRIKE FROM OSIMHEN!
