Napoli earned a crucial 1-0 win against Venezia, thanks to a late goal from Giacomo Raspadori. This result sees them climb to second place in the Serie A table, level with Atalanta.
Giacomo Raspadori came off the bench to score the only goal in Napoli 's 1-0 home win over relegation-battling Venezia on Sunday. The result moves Napoli to second in the Serie A standings and level on points with leaders Atalanta. Napoli have 41 points, one ahead of defending champions Inter Milan, while Venezia remain second from the bottom on 13 points.
The opening half ended goalless, with Venezia goalkeeper Filip Stankovic saving a penalty kick from Romelu Lukaku eight minutes before the break before Raspadori netted in the 79th minute, nine minutes after coming off the bench. Antonio Conte's Napoli were on the attack from the off, with Stankovic twice denying the home side with close-range saves from Amir Rrahmani and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Venezia began to find a footing in the game, almost taking the lead but Alex Meret pulled off a reflex save with his leg to keep out John Yeboah's effort. A handball from Jay Idzes on Mathias Olivera's shot gave Napoli the perfect chance to break the deadlock from the penalty spot, but Stankovic went the right way and was down quick to get a hand to Lukaku's powerful low strik
