Inter Milan were handed a 2-1 win at Verona by a late own goal yesterday to move to within a point of stuttering Serie A leaders Napoli.

Defending champions Napoli slugged out a 0-0 deadlock with rising force Como on Saturday. Inter, last season’s Champions League finalists, took to the pitch knowing a win would leave them breathing down Napoli’s neck. Winless so far this season, Verona fell behind in the 16th minute when Inter’s Piotr Zielinski produced a moment of magic. The Polish midfielder arrived on the edge of the box to fire home a thunderous volley from a poorly cleared corner.
