Roma Rally to Draw 3-3 at Napoli as Como Keep on Winning
Roma erased a two-goal deficit and Balerdi’s late header secured a point after Allegri was sent off for dissent.
- On Saturday, AS Roma secured a 3-3 draw at Napoli after trailing twice, with Leonardo Balerdi's late header preserving Roma's unbeaten Serie A run while leaving Napoli ninth on 11 points.
- Following his dismissal for dissent, Napoli head coach Massimiliano Allegri received a two-match suspension on Monday; the disciplinary authority cited "abusive remarks" and "aggressive attitude" toward officials.
- Napoli's Frank Anguissa opened scoring with a bicycle kick and Scott McTominay added a brace, but Balerdi's 89th-minute equalizer denied the hosts victory after VAR cleared a controversial clash involving Sam Beukema.
- On Tuesday, Lazio moved provisionally top of Serie A by routing 10-man Sassuolo 6-2, with Romano Floriani scoring his first league goal and Tijjani Noslin adding a brace.
- Lazio sit joint-top with 22 points, three ahead of Inter Milan, who visit bottom-placed Venezia on Wednesday; the Biancocelesti remain unbeaten under Gennaro Gattuso, conceding only five goals in eight matches.
