Napoli suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Fiorentina at home on Sunday, leaving them in fifth place in the Serie A table.
The reigning champions were hoping to bounce back after a loss to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, but they were outplayed by a Fiorentina side who are looking like a serious threat at the top end of the table.
Josip Brekalo gave Fiorentina the lead in the first half, and Giacomo Bonaventura doubled their advantage early in the second.
Victor Osimhen pulled a goal back for Napoli from the penalty spot, but Nicolas Gonzalez sealed the win for Fiorentina in stoppage time.
The defeat is a blow to Napoli’s title hopes, and it will be interesting to see how they respond when the Serie A season resumes after the international break.
