Inter led twice, and Napoli did enough not to lose and allow the leader to make the first noticeable difference in the Serie A standings.

There was no winner in the derby (2:2), so Inter still has four points more than the current champion, three more than Milan, who drew away against Fiorentina in this round (1:1).

Roma is also four points behind Inter after defeating Sassuolo.

The "Black and Blue" took an early lead with a goal by Federico Dimarco after Piotr Zielinski took the ball away from Scott McTominay, but the Scot later redeemed himself and only he deserves the credit for the Neapolitans taking a point from the City of Fashion.

Mektomine is equalized midway through the first half at 1:1, a ten minutes before the end and at 2:2 after it is Hakan Çalhanoglu's penalty gives the home team their second advantage.

That penalty caused controversy after Henrikh Mkhitaryan was apparently tackled by Amir Rahmani, and Antonio Conte was sent off for violent protests. It wasn't long before he had reason to celebrate in the stands as Napoli stopped Inter's advance to a big plus seven...
