Atalanta's Lazar Samardzic scored a late winner as they fought back to beat third-placed visitors Napoli 2-1 on Sunday, extending their unbeaten Serie A run to nine games, Reuters reported. 

Napoli's first loss in their last five league games at Atalanta left them 14 points adrift of leaders Inter Milan, while their opponents are seventh and two points behind fourth-placed Roma, who host lowly Cremonese in the late game.

Mario Pasalic almost gave Atalanta the lead after three minutes but his header missed the near post shortly before Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic cleared Raoul Bellanova's dangerous pass near the goal, according to Reuters.
