Napoli cling on for win over 10-man Lazio

MILAN, Jan 20 (Reuters) - Napoli scored twice before halftime and hit the woodwork three times before clinging on for a 2-1 victory over 10-man Lazio in Serie A on Sunday.

The win, their 15th in 20 league games this season, left second-placed Napoli six points behind leaders Juventus who host bottom club Chievo on Monday while Lazio dropped out of the Champions League places.

Arkadiusz Milik volleyed against the post and then saw a header pushed onto the woodwork by Thomas Strakosha before Jose Callejon fired the hosts ahead with his first goal of the season in the 34th minute.
