Napoli won away, celebrating outside of Naples for the first time in 92 days and challenging Inter, who have a tough away game against Bologna on Sunday.
The two rivals are now tied for first place in the Serie A standings (they each have 71 points), with the Neapolitans having the easier schedule until the end, but the impression throughout the season has been that the "small" games are the biggest problem for Antonio Conte's team.
The "Azure" defeated Monza, who are in Serie B, and they did it with a narrow margin - Scott McTominay brought them a 1-0 triumph in the 72nd minute.
Before and after the goal, Napoli mostly suffered, but found a way to overcome the away game against a team that had won only 33 points in 15 rounds.
Roma continued their great streak - unbeaten since mid-December last year - and are not giving up on qualifying for the Champions League.
