A crazy midweek round of Serie A action concluded with Napoli coming back twice against Udinese, and Juventus being held by Crotone, thus reducing the gap at the top of the table back to four points.
In Turin, AC Milan were pegged back by Torino, while Inter routed Cagliari and Fiorentina were involved in battle with Lazio which they ultimately lost, despite Jordan Veretout’s hat-trick.
