ROME (AP) — Victor Osimhen scored twice and Napoli won 2-1 at Hellas Verona to keep Serie A leader AC Milan within reach. The victory moved Napoli back within three points of Milan after the Rossoneri beat Empoli 1-0 on Saturday. Third-place Inter Milan needed an injury-time equalizer from Alexis Sanchez to salvage a 1-1 draw at Torino. Both of Osimhen’s goals started with throw-ins. First he connected with a header early on, then he scored with one touch following a cross from Giovanni Di Lorenzo midway through the second half. Davide Faraoni pulled one back for Verona minutes after Osimhen’s second with a difficult header.
