Ancelotti critical of his Napoli side following Juventus defeat

Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti says he was ‘angry’ with his side for throwing away a 1-0 lead in their 3-1 loss to Juventus at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday.

Belgium forward Dries Mertens put the away side in front in the first half after tapping in Jose Callejon’s cross, but a brace from Mario Mandzukic and a third goal from Leonardo Bonucci saw league leaders Juventus retain their 100% league record for another week.

A second half sending off for left-back Mario Rui did not help Napoli’s chances, with Ancelotti also critical of the referee.
