Lorenzo Insigne had opened the scoring, but an Edin Dzeko brace, Cengiz Under and gift from Mario Rui saw Roma shock leaders Napoli 4-1.
This means the run of 10 consecutive Serie A victories is ended, but above all the gap at the top of the table is now one point and Juventus have a game in hand against Atalanta, as it could prove to be a pivotal weekend in the Scudetto race.
It had started so well with Insigne’s strike from close range, but Cengiz Under saw a shot deflected in off Mario Rui less than a minute later.

It had started so well with Insigne’s strike from close range, but Cengiz Under saw a shot deflected in off Mario Rui less than a minute later.
Dzeko then took control with a looping header on Alessandro Florenzi’s cross and, as Roma were under siege and Alisson performing heroics, the Bosnian curled a magnificent second in from the edge of the area.
Mario Rui literally gifted the fourth goal to Diego Perotti with a bizarre back-heel flick clearance in the six-yard box and the Dries Mertens daisy-cutter came too late to turn things around.
Nonetheless, the Stadio San Paolo crowd sang, chanted and applauded their idols.
