Napoli damaged its chances of finishing in the top three as it drew 2-2 at already relegated Parma in Serie A on Sunday.

Parma twice took the lead through Raffaele Palladino and Cristobal Jorquera but Napoli hit back each time, thanks to goals from Manolo Gabbiadini and Dries Mertens.

Napoli moved three points behind third-place Lazio, which hosts Inter Milan later and hopes to take advantage of Roma's defeat at AC Milan on Saturday and move above its city rival.

Fiorentina kept up its pursuit of a European spot by beating Empoli 3-2 to move back above Sampdoria, which crushed Udinese 4-1 earlier.

Elsewhere, 10-man Atalanta clung on to win 3-2 at Palermo to boost its chances of avoiding the drop and ensure Cesena, beaten 3-2 by Sassuolo, was relegated.
