Serie A 2026-27 leader Lazio dropped points for the second time this season as it was held to a 1-1 draw away to struggling Napoli on Sunday.

Davide Frattesi gave the Romans a deserved lead, but Napoli drew level early in the second half through an Alfonso Pedraza own goal.

Napoli was under pressure to deliver a result after defeats to Juventus and Porto, and the squad was sent into a training retreat in a bid to revive their flagging form.
