Napoli 2-1 Juventus: Late Raspadori strike earns Champions narrow win over Juve

Champions Napoli defeated Juventus 2-1 in Serie A on Sunday, with substitute Giacomo Raspadori scoring late in the second half to secure the club's first back-to-back victories in five months.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia put Napoli ahead three minutes before halftime, volleying inside the near post, before Federico Chiesa leveled for Juventus in the 81st minute, shooting into the far bottom corner from the edge of the box.

But Raspadori sealed the win for the hosts two minutes from time, firing a rebound into the roof of the net from close range after Juve keeper Wojciech Szczesny denied Victor Osimhen from the penalty spot.

Napoli move up to seventh in the standings with 43 points, while Juventus remain second with 57 points after 27 games, effectively reducing their lead over third-placed AC Milan to a point.
