Serie A: Napoli Finish off As The League Leader

Only AC Milan will conclude this year with less than 10 points behind Serie A leader Napoli. Milan snatched a 2-1 win at home to Fiorentina on Sunday to stay eight points adrift of Napoli, which defeated Udinese 3-2 the previous day. The other four teams in the top six were teaming up against each other in the final round before the Italian league took a pause for the World Cup and the conventional winter break. It will start again on January 4.

Juventus defeated Lazio 3-0 to climb above the capital side into third, 10 points away from Napoli. Lazio and Inter Milan are a point further back after the Nerazzurri crept from behind to win 3-2 at sixth-place Atalanta. It was a sixth straight league victory without conceding a goal for Juventus.
