Anyway, thanks for your company - enjoy the rest of your weekends. Ta-ra.

My word, that was special. The first half sputtered, but the second was spectacular, Napoli shoving Juve onto the rack and keeping them there. Zielinski and Insigne were excellent, but in classic Napoli and classic Juve style, a missed penalty rinsed one and saved the other. The Serie A title race is now officially an ex-title race.

AND THERE IT IS! JUVENTUS WIN AN ABSOLUTE BELTER, AND NOW LEAD SERIE A BY 16 POINTS. THEY WILL SURELY WIN THEIR EIGHTH TITLE IN A ROW!
90+5'
lovely run from Ounas down the right, and he cracks back a low cross .... but Chiellini is there to clear. Was that Napoli's last chance?
90+3'
As it goes, five minutes is at the bottom end of added time Napoli were entitled to expect. Stoppages, two goals, a red card, plenty of yellows - I'd much rather Fifa addressed time-keeping than refereeing decisions.

Dybala boots Ounas and is booked.
90+1'
Napoli have had 12 corners so far, which tells you how the second half has gone.
90'
There'll be five additional minutes.

VAR, though - football was doing fine without it.
90'
Phew, what a game this has been!
87'
Koulibaly goes through Dybala and does very well to avoid a second yellow. This incenses everyone, Ghoulam coming off the bench and Allan up in Betancur's grille, taking offence at a shove. Lovely stuff.
87'
It's tough on Insigne in a way - he's been brilliant tonight, leading from the front - but that was never a penalty.

Koulibaly crunches Can and is booked.

Up steps Insigne ... and slams the penalty across Szczesny, but onto the base of the post!

PENALTY NAPOLI! THIS IS MAD! SANDRO COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT! HE WAS A YARD AWAY! THE REF HAS LITERALLY GONE OVER TO SEE THAT HAPPEN, AND GIVEN A PENALTY NONETHELESS!
81'
Zielinski has run himself daft, and again he forces himself down the left, winning a corner off De Sciglio. That goes short to Insigne, who tees up Mertens on the edge of the box ... and he strikes right across the ball, sending it sideways. But Napoli win another corner, and Fabian finds himself on the back post, where he spanks a shot against Alex Sandro's armpit from a yard away! They go to VAR!
80'
Dybala is preparing himself. Perhaps Allegri wants someone to blame if Juve chuck this away.

Another change for Napoli: Ounas replaces Callejon.

For the first time in ages, Juve break, and Bernardeschi charges away down the left, sees Maksimovic coming, puts the ball behind him and wears the inevitable foul Maksimovic is booked.
