Napoli give Inter title hope after being held by Genoa

Antonio Conte's team's destiny is still in their hands with two matches remaining in the season, and two wins against Parma and Cagliari will secure the Scudetto.

But Inter will have hope of retaining their league crown after Johan Vasquez's thumping header gave Genoa a late draw at a packed Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

"They had two shots on target and scored two goals. These things happen," said a visibly irritated Conte to 'DAZN'. "It's annoying because we should have won given what we created and how we played. It's disappointing to not win like this at the start of the season, forget about it with three matches remaining.

"But I can't complain about the performance, we had 11 shots on target, all of the ball... We have to go and win the other two matches, that's all there is to do it."

Giacomo Raspadori thought he had won the game and all but secured the title for Napoli in the 64th minute after a wonderful piece of skill to control Scott McTominay's pass.

McTominay also set up Romelu Lukaku's 15th-minute opener which was cancelled out in the 32nd minute when Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret inadvertantly diverted Honest Ahanor's header into his own goal.

And Vasquez piled the pressure on Napoli who also lost Stanislav Lobotka early on after Conte selected the key midfielder even though he hadn't recovered from an ankle injury.
