Inter hold on to Serie A summit with Napoli draw

Naples, Italy, Feb 12, 2022 (AFP) - Inter Milan maintained their one-point lead at the top of Serie A on Saturday with a 1-1 draw at title rivals Napoli.

Edin Dzeko's powerful 47th-minute equaliser was enough for Simone Inzaghi's team to earn a point in Naples, after Lorenzo Insigne had overtaken Diego Maradona in Napoli's all-time scoring charts with his seventh-minute penalty.

AC Milan, who are two points behind Inter in third, will claim top spot if they beat Sampdoria on Sunday.

However, Inter have a game in hand on both their local rivals and Napoli.
