THAT'S ALL FROM US!
Right, thanks very much for joining me! Here's our full report on an absolutely wonderful advert for Serie
SIMEONE THE HERO
This is the goal that has put Napoli 13 points clear!
FULL-TIME: NAPOLI 2-1 ROMA
The title moves even closer! What a game! What a win! Roma threw the kitchen sink at them in injury time, and they arguably deserved a point for their performance after the break, but Napoli found a way - like champions do. Superb drama. Brililant match.
ROMA TRYING TO LEVEL AGAIN
They're pushing Napoli back, but just can't force an opening despite some patient build up
NAPOLI SUB
Zielinski is off, replaced by on-loan Spurs man Tanguy Ndombele

RASPADORI SHOT SAVED
A snap shot in the box from the sub, but Patricio makes another good stop at his near post
SIX MINUTES ADDED ON
Enought time for a Roma equaliser?
CRISTANTE SUB
Final throw of the dice from Jose? He brings on Cristian Volpato
On
C. Volpato
Off
B. Cristante
GOAL! NAPOLI 2-1 ROMA (Simeone)
Out of nothing, Napoli are back in front! A third goal of the season for Simeone, who with four minutes to go brilliantly curls into the top corner from just inside the area!
Goal
G. Simeone
PELLEGRINI OFF
Edoardo Bove cames on for him, while Matic is withdrawn for Benjamic Tahirovic

L. Pellegrini
CAN NAPOLI FIND A WINNER?
They've certainly not been the better team in this half, and you feel without Osimhen they lack a bit of bite
DOUBLE NAPOLI SUB
Giacomo Raspadoria and Giovanni Simeone have replaced Osimhen and Lozano
On
G. Raspadori
Off
V. Osimhen
GOAL! NAPOLI 1-1 ROMA (El Shaarawy).
It has been coming! El Shaarawy is on hand at the back post to prod home a stunning right-wing cross. It was put on a plate for him by Zalewski
Goal
S. El Shaarawy
TROUBLE FOR TAMMY
The striker looks like he's pulled a hamstring and his evening his over. He's replaced by Andrea Belotti
On
A. Belotti
Off
T. Abraham
EL SHAARAWY BOOKED
The substitute picks up a yellow card for what can only be described as a 'hack' on Osimhen
Yellow card
S. El Shaarawy
DOUBLE NAPOLI CHANGE
Elmas and Mathias Olivera are on for Kvaratskhelia and Mario Rui
On
M. Olivera
Off
M. Rui
YELLOW CARD TO OSIMHEN
He goes in the book for a late tackle on Chris Smalling
Yellow card
V. Osimhen
OSIMHEN CAN'T CLIMB HIGH ENOUGH
Lozano whips in a cross from the right, and Osimhen meets it, only to head well over the bar
PATRICIO TO THE RESCUE!
Oh it should be game over! Napoli break from a Roma corner and it's suddenly three on two. Lozano could pass - should pass - but goes alone and sees his goal bound shot tipped over
TERRIFIC MERET SAVE
That's a much better effort from Cristante, a flicked header at the near post, but Meret dives full stretch to deny with his right palm
