Napoli 2-1 Lazio: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Partenopei Cut Gap to Juve at the Top of Serie A

Napoli reduced Juventus' lead at the top of Serie A to six points thanks to a 2-1 win at home over ten-man Lazio.

Goals from Jose Callejon and Arkadiusz Milik looked to have guided Napoli to victory before Naples native Ciro Immobile pulled a goal back for Lazio, but the visitors could not draw level after they were reduced to ten men following Francesco Acerbi's red card.

The game got off to a flying start as Alex Meret was called into action early on, producing a fine save to deny Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's header before Milik rattled the crossbar with a fearsome left-footed effort.
