NAPLES, Italy (AP) โ€” A stoppage time goal from Jonathan Rowe gave Bologna a 3-2 win against Napoli in a pulsating Serie A encounter on Monday. The result โ€” only the second home defeat of the season for Napoli โ€” lifted Bologna into eighth place above Udinese and Lazio with two rounds remaining. Federico Bernardeschi put visiting Bologna 1-0 up after nine minutes with a rifled shot into the roof of the net and Riccardo Orsolini added a second from the penalty spot 11 minutes before the break.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo pulled one back for Napoli in first-half stoppage time and Alisson Santos slotted home a neat layoff from Rasmus Hojlund early in the second half to level the scores. However, Bologna seized the win in the 91st when Rowe acrobatically converted after Vanja Milinkovic-Savic could only parry Juan Mirandaโ€™s fierce shot. Napoli remained in second place, two points ahead of Juventus and three above AC Milan and Roma.
