Napoli give Serie A leaders Inter reprieve

BOLOGNA: Napoli let Serie A leaders Inter Milan off the hook on Monday after being held to a 1-1 draw at Champion League chasers Bologna, who missed the chance to move into third place.

- 

Antonio Conte's team looked to be moving one point behind champions Inter when Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa opened the scoring in the 18th minute at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.

Anguissa's goal came in a fine first half from Napoli but Bologna finished stronger and Dan Ndoye gave the hosts a deserved point when he backheeled Jens Odgaard's low cross in off the cross-bar in the 64th minute.

And Napoli had Simone Scuffet, in for ill first-choice goalkeeper Alex Meret, to thank when he brilliantly palmed away Emil Holm's powerful header in the final minute before Santiago Castro failed to react on the rebound.
