Victor Osimhen ensured Napoli maintained their lead in Serie A on Sunday with a 3-2 win over Bologna.
Nigeria striker Osimhen scored a goal in the 69th minute to give Napoli victory to maintain a two-point lead at the top.
It was his first league goal since August, helping his side qualify for the Champions League last 16 in midweek.
Luciano Spalletti, who hit the woodwork twice, has now won 10 games on the bounce in all competitions and is unbeaten since the start of the season.
However, Sunday's win was far from the expected flamboyant performance against Bologna, who will move into the bottom three if Verona beat AC Milan in the final match of the day.
Thiago Motta's team is ranked 17th and walks away from the Stadio Maradona with credits after a good performance without star man Marko Arnatovic.
The hosts looked set for a routine victory as Hirving Lozano replaced him three minutes after the break after the Golmouth scuffle.
They went into break level to score their first goal of the season by Juan Jess in the last minute of the half, just four minutes after Joshua Zirczyk struck Bologna.
However, Alex Meret allowed Moses Barrow to equalize for Bologna just two minutes after Lozano fired an arrow from a howler, causing the Gambian's long-range shot to curl under his body.
The home crowd panicked but Osimhen, who replaced Giacomo Raspadori at half-time, scored his third league goal of the campaign under Lukasz Skorpski to send fans home dry but happy.
In Wednesday night's thrilling 3-3 draw with Barcelona, Inter Milan beat Salernitana 2-0 at the San Siro thanks to goals either side of half-time from Lautaro MartÃnez and Nicolo Barella.
Simone Inzaghi's side are seventh after a second straight league win and eight points behind Napoli.
"We are on the right path, we started the season badly and lost important points, but now we have turned the page," Martinez told Sky Sport Italia.
Inter are still without the injured Romelu Lukaku and midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, but miss neither.
Three wins in their last four games, including four points taken from Barca in the Champions League, taking them one win from the last 16, have boosted Inter and brought Martinez back to life.
MartÃnez had been on a worrying drought until crashing into his scintillating strike at the Camp Nou, and he followed that strong performance by scoring his first league goal since August in the 15th minute.
And Barela ensured Inter would collect the points six minutes later, netting their third goal of the campaign after collecting a right-left-foot pass from Hakan Kalhanoglu at the top.

Maurizio Sarri said Lazio should "look for another coach" after being annoyed by the state of the pitch at the Stadio Olimpico during a goalless draw with team-mate Udinese.

Sarri said it was impossible to play on a pitch that was also criticized by Jose Mourinho, whose team Roma play in the same stadium.

Sarri also lost Ciro Immobile to a thigh injury after half an hour and struggled to create chances without the Italian striker.
Both teams finished third and fourth and could overtake Milan and Roma, who are at Sampdoria on Monday.
