Napoli suffer Empoli shock in Serie A


ROME, Nov 12 (AFP): Napoli continued their struggles on home turf with Sunday's shock 1-0 defeat to Empoli which left the Serie A champions already well off the pace in this season's title race.
Rudi Garcia's team haven't won in Naples since the end of September and were loudly booed off by fans at the Stadio Maradona after Viktor Kovalenko's superb last-minute strike snatched the points for Empoli.
Napoli stay fourth, eight points behind provisional league leaders Juventus and are looking over their shoulders at pretenders to the Champions League positions. They will be 10 points from the summit after just 12 matches if in-form Inter Milan beat Frosinone.
