Napoli's Rasmus Hojlund netted a stoppage-time penalty to snatch a 3-2 victory at Genoa on Saturday as they finished with 10 men but closed the gap on the top two in Serie A, Reuters reported. 

Hojlund, who also got Napoli's first, slotted home the spot-kick five minutes into added time as the champions moved to 49 points, still six adrift of leaders Inter Milan but one behind second-placed AC Milan, who both have a game in hand.

It was a controversial penalty, after a VAR review found Genoa substitute Maxwel Cornet stood on Antonio Vergara's foot, but a major boost to Napoli hopes of retaining the Scudetto, according to Reuters. 

Arsenal moved nine points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 3-0 victory against Sunderland, while Tottenham boss Thomas Frank faced renewed calls for his sacking after a 2-0 defeat at Manchester United on Saturday, Reuters reported.
