McTominay keeps Napoli top with Torino winner, Parma upset Lazio

First-placed Napoli are four points ahead of the chasing pack in Serie A thanks to Scott McTominay's neat finish in Sunday's 1-0 win over Torino.

McTominay's winner was his third Serie A goal since signing for Napoli in the summer, and the Scotland midfielder is playing a key role in his new team's bid for a fourth Italian league title.

Napoli would have left Turin with a heftier goal haul had Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic not pulled off a series of top class saves.

The Serbia 'keeper kept out a Romelu Lukaku backheel and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's looping header before McTominay broke the deadlock, and he got down brilliantly to stop both Mathias Olivera's close-range header in the 65th minute and Giovanni Simeone in stoppage time.

"When you have the chances to close out the match and you don't, you need to be very careful, because a corner or a free-kick can change things," Napoli boss Antonio Conte told DAZN.

"We attacked them with aggression, much more than usual, and it was only Milinkovic-Savic's performance that stopped us from scoring more."

Atalanta can move back to within a point of Napoli with a win at Roma on Monday night.

Lazio lose ground

Lazio have lost ground after a frustrating 3-1 defeat at Parma which was inflicted by an early Dennis Man finish, Anas Haj Mohamed's first Serie A goal and a stoppage-time strike from Enrico Del Prato after Valentin Castellanos had halved the deficit for the away side.

Marco Baroni's Lazio, who are fifth and level on 28 points with Inter, Fiorentina and Atalanta, thought they had taken the lead in the second minute through Nicolo Rovella before the strike was ruled out for a foul by the Italy midfielder.

Rovella then handed Parma the lead when he rolled a sloppy pass across his own area straight to Man, who gobbled up the chance to net his fourth goal of the season.

Castellanos then had a goal chalked off for offside before Lazio were awarded, and then denied via a VAR check, a penalty on the stroke of half-time.

Lazio came out on the front foot after the break, but Haj Mohamed's beautiful curling effort - in his first start in Italy's top flight - doubled the hosts' lead in the 53rd minute.

Castellanos' tap-in after a mix-up between Zion Suzuki and Emanuele Valeri was followed by intense pressure from Lazio, but Del Prato ensured that Parma would move up to 11th, four points above the relegation zone, after being sent clean through by Gabriel Charpentier.

Patrick Vieira won his first match as Genoa coach with a 2-0 success at 10-man Udinese, which moved his new team three points away from the Serie A relegation zone.
