Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:48:51 GMT

Both coaches also received red cards in a chaotic last few minutes.Monza’s lack of goals is a problem for a club already punching above its weight.

It remains in 11th place.Napoli’s barren run, meanwhile, has seen it win just 28 points from a possible 54. It was in seventh place.Goals were not much easier to come by in Florence but a late header from defender Lucas Ranieri — his first of the league season — earned a 1-0 win against Torino.The win extended Fiorentina’s unb...
