Leaders Napoli were held to a 1-1 home draw by Salernitana in Serie A on Sunday, extending the wait of Luciano Spalletti's side to seal their first title in 33 years.

Napoli are on 79 points, far ahead of second-placed Lazio on 61 points with six games remaining. They will have another chance to clinch the Scudetto away at Udinese on Thursday.

The stadium erupted when Napoli found the net just after the hour mark through defender Mathias Olivera, who leaped up in the box to nod the ball into the bottom left corner from a corner kick.

But Salernitana equalised seven minutes from time through forward Boulaye Dia, who broke into Napoli's area and struck the ball at by the far post.
