Gervinho scored twice while Parma, after scoring two goals, drew 3-3 against Italian Serie A leaders Juventus, who lost points for the league's third time this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo also scored twice, making him the top scorer in Serie A with 17 goals, allowing Juve to take command in the 66th minute.
Gervinho, after a brilliant goal followed by a tying goal after stopping the match, meant that the Turin club's lead over Napoli was reduced to nine points. Juventus, chasing for an eighth consecutive title in Serie A and unbeaten, totals 60 points in 22 games while Naples is 51 after winning 3-0 on Sampdoria earlier Saturday.
Juve took advantage in the 36th minute when Ronaldo collected Blaise Matuidi's pbad into the penalty area and, although he was slipping, he managed to produce a shot that deflected a defender and beat Luigi Sepe.
Juventus was given a penalty for a foul on Martin Caceres at the end of the first half, but the referee revoked it after a check by the monitor at the side of the field.
After a series of ricochets, Daniele Rugani gave Juventus a 2-0 advantage in the 62nd minute. Antonino Barilla turned around two minutes later and Ronaldo restored Juve's two-goal lead.
Former Arsenal and Roma striker Gervinho further reduced the backlog by placing a low center from Juraj Kucka with a clever shot in the 74th minute.

At the end of the match, Juventus failed to clear the ball and Roberto Inglese cleared a way to the goal line and withdrew the ball back to Gervinho, who scored for a shot that Mattia Perin got but could not stop. In Naples, Arek Milik scored 25 minutes before Lorenzo Insigne found the far corner of the goal a minute later to end a three-month draw. Substitute Simone Verdi converted a late handball penalty after a video replay to seal Napoli's comfortable victory.
Elsewhere, Francesco Caputo, the Empoli striker, scored twice to help the Tuscan hosts get out of the 2-2 win with bottom-up Chievo in the last row of the league.
