Inter Milan salvaged a late 1-1 draw in the derby against AC Milan on Sunday, with Stefan de Vrij's last-minute equalizer ensuring they stayed three points behind leaders Napoli, who were also denied a win by a late goal at Roma.
Inter's dominance at the San Siro saw them have three goals ruled out, and several near misses, including efforts from Yann Bisseck, Marcus Thuram, and Denzel Dumfries. Milan's Tijjani Reijnders had put his side ahead with a counter-attack goal, but it was de Vrij who struck at the death to level the game.
In Rome, Napoli seemed on course for an eighth consecutive victory after Leonardo Spinazzola's first-half goal for Roma. However, Roma fought back, and Angelino's stunning volley in added time earned them a dramatic 1-1 draw.
This late equalizer was crucial as it denied Napoli the chance to extend their lead to five points, keeping the top of the table tight. Roma’s strong response to Napoli’s lead adds more pressure on the title race, with Napoli still ahead by three points.
Elsewhere, Juventus solidified their position in the top four with a 4-1 victory over Empoli, while Lazio moved within a point of Juventus, with a chance to reclaim fourth place if they win their match against Cagliari.
Despite Inter and Napoli both drawing, third-placed Atalanta remains in the hunt for an unprecedented title challenge, though they are still seven points behind Napoli and four behind Inter. The battle for the Scudetto remains intense, with crucial fixtures still to come.
