Napoli moved level on points with Serie A leaders Atalanta as substitute Giacomo Raspadori's goal earned Antonio Conte's side a 1-0 home win against strugglers Venezia.

Raspadori struck in the 79th minute after Romelu Lukaku had seen a penalty saved by Venezia goalkeeper Filip Stankovic late in the first half.
