Napoli are on the verge of winning their first Serie A title since 1990 after Giacomo Raspadori's 93rd-minute volley sealed a dramatic 1-0 win over Juventus on Sunday.

Luciano Spalletti's side overcame the disappointment of their midweek Champions League exit at the hands of AC Milan by beating Juve right at the end of a tight game in Turin.

The win means Napoli lead second-placed Lazio by 17 points with just seven rounds remaining and Spalletti's side can be crowned champions next weekend if they beat Salernitana and the Rome-based club fail to defeat Inter in Milan.
