Serie A | Napoli 1-1 Udinese: McTominay not enough for leaders

It did not last long, as Udinese equalised a couple of minutes after that. Meret’s error and then Mazzocchi trying to avoid a throw-in allowed the Friulani to continue their attack, culminating in a remarkable, swerving Jurgen Ekkelenkamp right-foot scorcher from outside the box into the far bottom corner.

Sandi Lovric stung Meret’s gloves straight after the restart, while McTominay bent a finish just over from the edge of the area and Romelu Lukaku’s effort was deflected off target by Oumar Solet.

With time running out, Noah Okafor came on for his Napoli debut after the deadline day loan with option to buy move from Milan, but Udinese held on for the point.
