Insigne grabs point for Napoli

Lorenzo Insigne rescued a late point as Napoli now trail league leaders Juventus by 19 points after a frustrating 1-1 stalemate at Sassuolo on Sunday, as Serie A rivals Inter Milan warmed up for next weekend’s derby against AC Milan with a 2-0 win at home to SPAL.

Insigne netted the equaliser four minutes from time after Domenico Berardi had opened the scoring for midtable Sassuolo on 52 minutes in Modena.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side’s hopes of a first league title since 1990 have faded as Juventus continued their charge towards an eighth consecutive Scudetto with a 4-1 win over Udinese on Friday.

Napoli are far behind in second, six points ahead of AC Milan, who beat bottom club Chievo 2-1 on Saturday for a fifth league win in a row.

Inter Milan are a further point behind in fourth. Matteo Politano and Roberto Gagliardini scored in the second half as Inter shook off pre-derby tensions to beat SPAL 2-0 to revive their Champions League chase.
