Napoli's title hopes shaken by late Genoa equaliser as Inter close in

Napoli's bid for a second Serie A title in three seasons was hit by Sunday’s 2-2 home draw with Genoa which allowed Inter Milan to move to within a point of the league leaders thanks to their dramatic 2-0 win at Torino.

Antonio Conte’s team’s destiny is still in their hands with two matches remaining in the season, and two wins against Parma and Cagliari will secure the Scudetto.

But Inter will have hope of retaining their league crown after Johan Vasquez’s thumping header gave Genoa a late draw at a packed Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

“They had two shots on target and scored two goals. These things happen,” said a visibly irritated Conte to DAZN.

“It's annoying because we should have won given what we created and how we played. It’s disappointing to not win like this at the start of the season, forget about it with three matches remaining.

“But I can’t complain about the performance, we had 11 shots on target, all of the ball... We have to go and win the other two matches, that’s all there is to do it.”

Giacomo Raspadori thought he had won the game and all but secured the title for Napoli in the 64th minute after a wonderful piece of skill to control Scott McTominay’s pass.
