An impressive Napoli display was only enough to earn a point at home to Inter on Saturday evening.
The Nerazzurri took the lead through a stunning Federico Dimarco free kick midway through the first half.
Napoli came into the ascendancy after the break and probed relentlessly for an equaliser, which eventually came three minutes before the end of regular time. Substitute Philip Billing collected Stanislav Lobotka's clever pass in the box and shot first-time: Josep Martinez parried it but the Dane pounced and the loose ball and tucked it home to claim a thoroughly deserved draw for the Azzurri,
