Napoli cut Inter’s Serie A lead
Napoli reached Inter Milan’s lead at the top of the Serie A to three points, bringing a 3-0 victory over Emporio, who was threatened by relegation.
Former Manchester United pair Scott McTominai and Romell Lukaku scored goals, and Lukaku hit both sides of the Scottish midfielder McTominai’s double.
Second-placed Napoli felt pressure after Inter’s 3-1 home victory against Cagliari on Saturday, but they were closed in the remaining six rounds.

The first goal came when Lukaku was given free fighting in the middle and was given a thrust at Muktaminai.
Belgian Lukaku added his name to the scoresheet from the perfect through-ball ball in the box.
Atletico is catching up to city rivals
In Spain, Atletico Madrid’s own faint title aspirations continue to live out after a 4-2 Lariga victory over the real Valladolid.
Diego Simeone’s men began the 10th day behind leader Barcelona, and looked ready to drop the points when Mamadu Silla placed Valadrid in front of him 21 minutes later.
Two goals in the first three minutes, Julian Alvarez’s penalty and Giuliano Simeone’s 27-minute effort, brought Atletico back on track, but remained in the 56 minutes played by Jabi Sanchez.
However, the hosts ended strong as Alvarez scored another spot kick before Alexander Sorros made a safe point in the 11th minute.
