Scott McTominay, Amir Rrahmani and Rasmus H\u00f8jlund scored to help Napoli to a comfortable 3-0 win at already-relegated Pisa on Sunday to ensure Antonio Conte\u2019s team will finish in the top four of the Italian league, with just one round remaining.<\/p>\n

AC Milan and Roma also won on Sunday to leave them level on 70 points in third and fourth place. Juventus and Como were two points further back.<\/p>\n

Milan and Roma play Cagliari and Hellas Verona, respectively, in their final matches. Juventus visits Torino in the derby and Como travels to Cremonese.<\/p>\n

Just like in the penultimate round, all those matches will kick off simultaneously<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Inter Milan won the Serie A title<\/a> with three rounds remaining and will celebrate after its match against Hellas Verona later, its final home game of the season.<\/p>\n

Christian Pulisic came on as a second-half substitute to help Milan to a crucial 2-1 win at Genoa.<\/p>\n

Pulisic missed Milan\u2019s last match<\/a> with a lower-back problem but the United States forward recovered earlier than expected<\/a> and was brought on in the 76th minute with the Rossoneri winning 1-0 thanks to Christopher Nkunku\u2019s penalty.<\/p>\n

Pulisic had an immediate impact, five minutes after coming off the bench, as he laid off the ball to Zachary Athekame, who drilled into the bottom corner from outside the area.<\/p>\n

Johan V\u00e1squez pulled one back for Genoa a few minutes later.<\/p>\n

Roma won the derby against Lazio 2-0, but there were brawls between the players after each of the goals.<\/p>\n

Roma defender Wesley and Lazio midfielder Nicol\u00f2 Rovella were spotted throwing punches at each other in the second brawl and both were shown red cards.<\/p>\n

Gianluca Mancini twice headed in corners for the goals.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Juventus was roundly jeered after losing 2-0 at home to fierce rivals Fiorentina, while Como held on for a 1-0 win over Parma to leave Cesc F\u00e0bregas\u2019 team still in with a chance of qualifying for the Champions League just seven years after playing in Italy’s fourth division<\/a> .<\/p>\n

All 10 Serie A matches were taking place on Sunday, with the teams involved in the relegation battle to play later.<\/p>\n

Pisa and Verona have already been relegated but Cremonese is just one point below 17th-place Lecce and safety and six below Cagliari.<\/p>\n

Cremonese and Lecce visit Udinese and Sassuolo, respectively, while Cagliari hosts Torino.<\/p>\n
