That's all from us this evening. Thanks for tuning in!


Speaking of Conte, what an achievement he's reached this season

It's sheer bedlam all around the stadium as Conte's men celebrate their latest victory. These are the reasons why we love football!


FULL TIME! Napoli 2-0 Cagliari

And it's all over at the Maradona as Napoli claim their second Scudetto in three years!


FULL TIME! Como 0-2 Inter

The Champions League finalists get the job  done but it's ultimately not enough to claim the title


No holding back from the Partenopei faithful it seems!


Into added time in both games with three in Como and five at the Maradona


It's fairly subdued in Como at the moment as Inter go through the motions. They know the title is out of their reach and Inzaghi's line-up choices suggested that the bigger priority is next weekend's Champions League final


CHANCE!

Neres dances through the Cagliari defence but is too ponderous before pulling the trigger and sees his effort blocked


Imagine what the scenes will be like at the final whistle


Lukaku off to a standing ovation as he's replaced by Simeone with just under 15 minutes to go in both games. Napoli are literally in touching distance of the Scudetto


CHANCE!

Almost a third for Napoli as Neres is played in by Lukaku but Sherri denies him


GOAL! Como 0-2 Inter

And it's the same score line in Como with Correa doubling the Nerazzurri's lead. It will however be in vain as things stand.


GOAL! Napoli 2-0 Cagliari

That might just be it for the Scudetto race as Lukaku makes a superb driving run from deep before sweeping home.


SECOND HALF!

We're back to it in Naples and Como. Who's finishing the evening as Italian champions?


HALF TIME!

It's the midway point for both games and what a first half it's been. Inter had the Scudetto in their hands for all of 22 minutes before Napoli restored their previous order. There's definitely more twists and turns to come in the next 45 for both sides.


Meanwhile back in Naples, there's a blue film clouding the game with all the flares and fireworks being let off since McTominay's acrobatic opener.


RED CARD! Como 0-1 Inter

The hosts are down to ten men in the idyllic setting as Reina's final-ever competitive appearance ends with a straight red card for bringing down Taremi


It's easy to see why McTominay is in line to become Serie A's MVP for the season


GOAL! Napoli 1-0 Cagliari

Who else but Scott McTominay? Bedlam ensues inside the Maradona as destiny swings back in the hosts' favour with a sublime finish to meet Politano's cross.


Meanwhile we've had another stoppage in Naples for the exact same problem as before. It's getting a bit frustrating now


CHANCE!

Back over in Como, Inter aren't having it all their own way as Sommer has to be at his best to deny Smolčić


After all that, the lengthy delay was to do with the referee's equipment being faulty. Unbelievable!


Getting a bit lively out there now as Anguissa and Makoumbou go toe to toe. Potentially a VAR intervention here after Raspadori appeared to get caught with an elbow


CHANCE!

It just won't land for Napoli as Spinazzola's effort is blocked and almost breaks for Lukaku at close range before the danger is averted


CHANCE!

That looked like the moment for Napoli to reclaim a grip on the title race as Lukaku is played in for a shot but sees his effort blocked by Mina for a corner


GOAL! Como 0-1 Inter

Things are now getting interesting as De Vrij has opened the scoring for the Nerazzurri from Çalhanoğlu's corner which means, as things stand, they're in the box seat for the title


All the action happening at the Maradona still with Cagliari having to weather wave upon wave of Napoli attack. The hosts are already six shots up after 18 minutes


CHANCE!

All Napoli now as Di Lorenzo tries to tee up Lukaku in the middle of the box but Sherri is able to block it


CHANCE!

From a Cagliari corner, Conte's side break away with GIlmour surging into the box for an effort which he can't direct past an advancing Sherri before Politano blazes the follow-up


CHANCE!

Raspadori again at the heart of things for Napoli with a cross for Anguissa but the midfielder can't reach it when arriving in the box


CHANCE!

Meanwhile back at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, the hosts graze the post with an effort from Raspadori


CHANCE!

Inter starting strongly with Dimarco sending a cross to the far post which Darmian meets on the volley but it's cleared on the line by a combination of Reina and Perrone


KICK OFF!

We're underway in both games. Who's taking the title?


The Partenopei can almost taste their second Serie A crown in three seasons.


As things stand, Napoli are set to claim their fourth Scudetto but with a point separating them and Inter at the summit, it's still all to play for. Antonio Conte's side host Cagliari while the Nerazzurri face Como


Hello and welcome to our live coverage of tonight's Serie A action. This weekend sees the end of the Italian top flight campaign but it all starts with a title decider. We'll keep you posted on all happening in both Naples and Como this evening.
