Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly redeems self with brace vs. Chievo

Kalidou Koulibaly grabbed a brace in Napoli’s 3-1 victory over Chievo in Sunday’s Italian Serie A encounter.

On the back of their recent unimpressive form, that saw the Parthenopeans fail to win in their last three games, the defender who scored an own goal in their 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in the first leg Europa League quarter-final tie redeemed himself in style at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.

The 27-year-old opened the scoring for Carlo Ancelotti’s men in the 15th minute after connecting with Dries Mertens’ corner kick.

Arkadiusz Milik doubled the lead in the 64th minute before the Senegal international wrapped up his brace from another set piece with nine minutes left to play.
