Napoli, Juve runs continue, Inter salvage 3-3 draw
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 08 - 02 - 2016

Napoli beat Carpi 1-0 and Juventus won 2-0 at Frosinone as the leading pair extended their Serie A winning streaks Sunday to move further clear at the top of the table.
Napoli saw off 10-man Carpi at home thanks to a Gonzalo Higuain penalty for a club-record eighth consecutive league win that maintained their two-point lead at the top, while Juve in second made it 14 straight wins as goals from Juan Cuadrado and Paulo Dybala downed Frosinone.
Serie A is starting to look increasingly like a two-horse race as Inter Milan failed to reignite its flickering title hopes with Ivan Perisic scoring a late equalizer to salvage a 3-3 draw at bottom club Hellas Verona.
Inter's draw leaves it fourth on 45 points, 11 behind leader Napoli and nine adrift of second-place Juventus, with Fiorentina in third on 46 after it drew 1-1 at Bologna Saturday.
Napoli's fans showed their support for defender Kalidou Koulibaly, who was subjected to racist abuse in the midweek win at Lazio, by wearing masks of the Senegal international, and it was the center back who won the decisive penalty in the 69th-minute after being fouled by Fabio Daprela.
Higuain converted from the spot for his 24th goal of the season, finally seeing off a resilient Carpi side which had Raffaele Bianco dismissed for a second yellow card in a case of mistaken identity in the 56th minute.
Juve saw off relegation-threatened Frosinone after a 73rd-minute opener from Chelsea loanee Cuadrado and a delicious curling effort from Dybala in the first minute of stoppage time.
Inter's once-watertight defense was breached twice inside the first 16 minutes when Filip Helander and Eros Pisano cancelled out Jeison Murillo's eighth-minute header.
Roberto Mancini's team has kept 13 clean sheets so far this season, but their defence has struggled to convince in the New Year and they were undone twice in the space of four minutes as Helander and Pisano headed home Luca Marrone free kicks.
Artur Ionita diverted a Marrone corner past Samir Handanovic to make it 3-1 in the 57th minute before Inter responded through Mauro Icardi in the 61st.
Perisic then rescued a point in the 78th when his finish was fumbled into the back of the net by Pierluigi Gollini.
Verona, which had not won a Serie A match this season before a midweek victory over Atalanta, extended its unbeaten run to five games but will be distraught at having let a two-goal lead slip. It remained last on 15 points.
AC Milan drew 1-1 with Udinese, Sassuolo and Palermo drew 2-2 and Chievo won 2-1 at Torino.
