The Partenopei and Giallrossi played out a 2-2 draw at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and the goals began to roll when Paulo Dybala put Roma in front in the 59th minute from the penalty spot before Mathias Olivera equalised six minutes later.

Osimhen put Napoli 2-1 up in the 84th minute also from the penalty spot for this 14th league goal of the season but it was not enough to get all three points as Anglo-Nigerian forward Tammy Abraham made things level five minutes later.
Atalanta meanwhile defeated Empoli 2-0 which came courtesy of Mario Pasalic’s 42nd minute penalty and Lookman’s powerful strike six minutes into the second half, taking the former RB Leipzig man to nine Serie A goals for the season.
