Lazio win to keep Napoli's Serie A title celebs on ice
Lazio have kept Napoli from sealing the Serie A title for at least another day by beating Sassuolo 2-0.

Vlahovic scored before the break to end a run of 773 minutes without a goal in the Italian league. And the Serbia international did it in style, using a half-volley from the edge of the area to find the target.
