Napoli 1-1 Roma: El Shaarawy rescues the result!


Stephan El Shaarawy scored the injury-time equaliser as Roma continued their unbeaten run with a 1-1 draw with Napoli on Monday evening.

Substitute El Shaarawy found the bottom corner from Tammy Abraham's flick to secure a share of the spoils at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, cancelling out Lorenzo Pellegrini's early penalty.

The Giallorossi had chances to win the game - and even to equalise much earlier - but they ultimately only silenced the Naples crowd late on, in a game that saw the hosts become increasingly nervy.

The result means Jose Mourinho's side remain fifth in the standings ahead of the weekend trip to face Inter Milan.
