Napoli suffered a last-gasp defeat at the hands of Empoli in the Sunday lunch-time game, after Viktor Kovalenko struck in stoppage to give the visitors all three points. It was a bitter outcome for the Partenopei, who had seen a first-half goal from Giovanni Simeone chalked off for a tight offside call, after a VAR check.
