Every great, every remarkable story sooner or later finds its end, and the miraculous Serie A leaders Napoli have found it tonight at their own ground.Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio shocked the entire Europe by defeating the Neapolitans, thanks to Vecino’s second-half screamer. On the other end, Napoli’s deadly attacking duo Osimhen-Khvicha were confronted with a fierce rival’s defence that prevented them from putting on another show and pushing the home side to the ninth league win in a row.Not today Luciano Spaletti. Today is Maurizio Sarri’s day. Masterclass performance from Lazio. They made it difficult for Napoli to break them down in the final third. Limited their space and movement was off.
