Napoli have been held to a 1-all draw by visiting Sassuolo at the San Paolo.

The hosts dominated the match on Monday and took the lead through Lorenzo Insigne, with 3 minutes remaining in the first half.

However, Napoli struggled to score again despite their numerous chances and paid the price when Sassuolo’s Gregoire Defrel came off the bench and hit a stunning 82nd-minute equalizer to dent Napoli’s Serie A title hopes.

The draw broke Sassuolo’s 4-game losing streak and left Napoli 7th in the standings, 8 points adrift of leaders Juventus.
