Talking point: Napoli need to develop ruthlessness, after defeat to lowly Empoli

Napoli endured an unexpected 2-1 defeat to lowly Empoli, which but all surrendered the Scudetto to Juventus; not as if it was in doubt in the first place.

However, before focussing on the Naples side, full credit must be given to Empoli. Aurelio Andreazzoli's team were a joy to watch as they took the game to Napoli, never surrendering an inch of space, and battling for every ball.

It was nothing less than one would expect for a club battling to stay in Serie A. Moreover, it is worth noting that Empoli should have at least gotten a point in their last game against the Bianconeri; such was the bravado of their performance.
