 Napoli came ⁠from two goals down but ​were stunned ​by an added-time strike from Jonathan Rowe to lose 3-2 at home to Bologna, a setback that leaves the hosts' top-four ⁠hopes in the balance as ⁠they missed a chance to secure a Champions League place.


Title winners Inter Milan have ‌85 points, with ​last season's champions ⁠Napoli second on 70, ​two points ahead ‌of Juventus, with AC Milan and AS Roma ​a further point back and sixth-placed Como on 65 points. Bologna are eighth with 52 points.


Federico Bernardeschi put Bologna ‌ahead in the ninth minute ​and Riccardo Orsolini's penalty doubled the lead ​in ‌the ⁠34th before Giovanni Di Lorenzo pulled one back in added time ​before the break.


Alisson Santos ⁠levelled early ​in the second half but the expected comeback victory failed to materialise and Bologna substitute Rowe ​silenced the Stadio Diego Armando ​Maradona with a late winner.
