Juraj Kucka's 89th-minute header lifted Genoa to a 3-2 win over Inter Milan after the Grifoni twice hit back from a goal down, while Juventus signed off in style with a 3-1 win over Napoli in their final home game.

With the game seemingly heading for a draw in Genoa, and neither side able to find the net in the second half after sharing four goals in a thrilling opening 45 minutes, Kucka sealed victory.

Inter had earlier taken leads through Mauro Icardi and Rodrigo Palacio, but they were cancelled out quickly by Leonardo Pavoletti and Maxime Lestienne respectively.
