Champions Napoli squandered the chance to climb to the Serie A summit on Sunday when coming unstuck 1-0 at Udinese.

Napoli’s three consecutive league win sequence came to a halt when, after having two goals disallowed, Udinese stole the show thanks to Jurgen Ekkelenkamp’s decisive 73rd minute goal.

Injury-ravaged Napoli will be feeling this was an opportunity missed as a win would have lifted them top of the table following AC Milan’s 2-2 draw with Sassuolo earlier.

The two teams had gone into the weekend level on points, with Milan in the driving seat on goal difference.
