It is only the fourth time in 25 Serie A this season that Napoli have failed to win. Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa saw his drive from distance deflected just over for Napoli, who had won eight in a row and 19 of their last 20 in Serie A -- a run that began with a 2-1 victory away to Lazio in September.
