Roma are knipping at the heels of table leaders, Juventus, but were unable to close the gap as they drew to tenth place Palermo.

Roma take on Fiorentina on the 25th of this month next.
Lazio 0-1 Napoli

Gonzalo Higuain was the only scorer of the day in the 18th minute with an absolute rocket of a strike from six yards out that proved too much for Lazio keeper Etrit Berisha. Lazio were able to keep a majority of possession and even got seven shots on target but were unable to secure any points.
Napoli move into third place on the table eight points behind Roma and 13 points behind leaders Juventus. Lazio drop to fifth, two points behind Sampdoria and Napoli.

Carlos Tevez made it two-nil just four minutes later with a great shot with the inside of his foot from a low cross to find the back of the net. Roberto Pereyra scored his first goal of the season finding the top corner of the near post after a good ball played on his run from Giorgio Chiellini. Tevez scored his second of the night after he was fed inside the box, then turned and shot the ball low finding the gap of the keepers legs.
