Sawt Falasteen - Napoli close in on Serie A title despite Parma stalemate

Antonio Conte's team stay one point ahead of Inter and were unfortunate not to win after striking the woodwork through Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, while Scott McTominay also had a free-kick tipped onto the crossbar.

The away side thought they would be handed a chance to take the points from the penalty spot in the 96th minute when David Neres was fouled, only for the decision to be reversed for a foul committed by Giovanni Simeone earlier in the move.

However a home win on the final day against Cagliari, who are safe thanks to a 3-0 win over second-from-bottom Venezia, will give Napoli a fourth league crown.

Napoli were saved from being overtaken by Inter thanks to a Pedro brace for Lazio, including a 90th-minute penalty.

Denzel Dumfries thought he had headed home a potentially key goal with 10 minutes remaining at the San Siro, before a Yann Bisseck handball allowed Champions League chasers Lazio to snatch a point.

Inter's final fixture is at Como who are finishing their first Serie A season in great form, although Cesc Fabregas' team's winning streak ended at six matches with a 1-1 draw at safe Verona.
