Defender Raul Albiol scored the only goal as Napoli kept the pressure on leaders Juventus with a 1-0 win over SPAL in Serie A on Saturday, while AC Milan dropped out of the top four following defeat to Fiorentina and bottom club Chievo snatched an injury time leveller to hold Inter Milan to an unlikely 1-1 draw.
Albiol got his head to a Dries Mertens corner to score his first goal this season just before the break with goalkeeper Alex Meret ensuring the hosts kept all three points by denying SPAL's Alberto Paloschi and Mohamed Fares late on.
Carlo Ancelotti's side move to within five points of champions Juventus, who will look to maintain their unbeaten run against ninth-placed Roma in Turin later on Saturday.
"Thinking of Juventus is likely to demotivate us," said Ancelotti.
"We have to think about ourselves because this team can do more, we have room for improvement and I say it after today's match, which was not amazing."
